BREAST COMPRESSION FOR DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY, TOMOSYNTHESIS AND OTHER MODALITIES
摘要
<p>A breast x-ray imaging method and system that is particularly suited for tomosynthesis imaging but also is useful for conventional mammography. A fluid containing pillow or bag is placed between the breast and a paddle that compresses the breast against a breast platform covering an imaging device, to enhance patient comfort and provide other benefits. Alternatives include a flexible sheet compressing the breast, and a compressible foam, preferably contoured to accommodate a patient's breast.</p>
