• The Kaiser score is a helpful clinical decision tool for distinguishing malignant from benign breast lesions that present as calcifications on mammography. • Application of the Kaiser score may obviate 58.3-65.3% of unnecessary stereotactic biopsies of suspicious calcifications. • High Kaiser scores predict breast cancer with high specificity, aiding clinical decision-making with regard to re-biopsy in case of negative results.
