Abstract: The American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria1 defines clinically insignificant breast pain as nonfocal, diffuse, or cyclical pain. Clinically insignificant pain does not require diagnostic imaging evaluation because it is not associated with malignancy.1 Diagnostic mammograms and/or ultrasound examinations performed for clinically insignificant pain often lack imaging correlates.2,3 In the context of high workflow demands and prolonged patient wait times, strategies to minimize unnecessary diagnostic imaging for clinically insignificant pain include having nursing staff contact patients to confirm pain symptoms and reschedule unwarranted diagnostic imaging appointments as age-appropriate screening appointments.
