• Among 458 probably benign calcifications assessed by digital magnification view, the overall cancer yield was 2.2% (10 of 458). • The cancer yield was below the 2% threshold for grouped punctate calcifications (1.2%, 2 of 162) and in women without newly diagnosed breast cancer or high-risk lesions (1.6%, 7 of 437). • Calcification distribution, morphology, increase in calcifications, and the presence of newly diagnosed breast cancer/high-risk lesion were associated with malignancy (all p < .05).
