Image quality with the cushions was reduced in a very small subset of women probably due to the difficulty in positioning the breast without visual clues. More research needs to be done prior to the routine use of these cushions in clinical practice. 展开 ...
MammoCAT uses proprietary “slot scanning” technology which doubles the spatial resolution and increases the contrast of today’s mammography technology while using less than half the radiation dose and without requiring painful breast compression. The system...

First, the breast is tightly (and often painfully33) compressed between two imaging plates. If cancer is present in the breast during this compression it can result in metastasis.34Next, the x-ray image is taken and the patient receives a 10 mSv (millisievert) dose of ionizing radiation, ...
The volume of the breast was measured using the formula proposed by Kalbhen et al. [7,8]: breast volume = π/4 × (W × H × C), where W is the breast width, H is the breast height, and C is the compression thickness in craniocaudal MG. US examination was ...
PurposeBreast compression during mammography is one of a number of essential components in the production of an optimally diagnostic mammogram. Breast compression optimises image quality and hence the visualisation of small lesions by reducing breast thickness (Barnes G, editor. Mammography equipment: comp...
CTLM® is an exciting new way of looking at breast abnormalities. The Benefits of Laser Breast Imaging Without Compression: New Type of Biological Imaging Adjunctive to other breast imaging modalities No breast compression (comfortable) No contrast agent ...
Compared with standard compression, using a self-compression method during mammography to reduce breast thickness resulted in a higher compression force without increasing pain or forfeiting image quality, according to research published in JAMA Internal
Such other technological devices as Mammospot reduce breast thickness and provide better breast compression. Digital mammography can be carried out with film or direct digitization. The advantages of the digital technique are a shorter examination time, less storage space, electronic image recording, ...
