here is something from the internet, this is on mammogram - but just so you have an understanding

BBâ��s are metallic markers that are used in the United States to mark the nipple or palpable mass for the Radiologist to locate and detect pathology. This shows up as white dots/circles on the mammograms as a reference point.

Thank you, BB's are metallic markers. Very helpful. - kc
