"Physicians sometimes describe the location of a breast tumor using clock positions. Again, the physician is looking at the patient and assigns the clock times from that view. So, the upper inner quadrant of the right breast is between 12 and 3 o’clock; the lower inner quadrant is between 3 and 6 o’clock; the lower outer quadrant is between 6 and 9 o’clock; and the upper outer quadrant is between 9 and 12 o’clock. " (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/npcr/pdf/abstracting/breast.pdf)
Example sentence:

In the left breast 1 o'clock, 7 cms from the nipple there is an irregular, hypoechoic mass with an echogenic rind which disrupts tissue planes and has malignant sonographic features
