A system for positioning a mammography unit includes a C-arm, an x-ray tube mounted at one end of the C-arm, and a compressor-Bucky assembly mounted at an opposite end of the C-arm. The compressor-Bucky assembly includes a film receptor (preferably a Bucky grid) and a plate-like compressor. The x-ray tube and the compressor-Bucky assembly can be rotated together with the C-arm about a center of rotation. In addition, the x-ray tube and the compressor-Bucky assembly can be rotated independently of one another within the C-arm.
