An architectural distortions on a mammogram is basically a disruption of the normal â random â pattern of curvilinear and fine linear radiopaque structures normally seen on a breast X-ray. There is no visible mass, but the distortion often appears as a â stellate â shape or with radiating speculations.he number of those women in which the architectural distortion would actually represent invasive breast cancer is very low, perhaps 5%-7% of the 4% with architectural distortion, which becomes a very small number.
The quality of your mammogram is greatly dependent on compression of the breast, which may sometimes cause discomfort (the discomfort is brief). Compression decreases breast motion that can cause blurry images. Thicker breast tissue also causes x-ray scatter and that degrades images.
