A novel approach to mammographic breast compression: Improved standardization and reduced discomfort by controlling pressure instead of force

Purpose: In x-ray mammography, flattening of the breast improves image quality and reduces absorbed dose. Current mammographic compression guidelines are based on applying a standardized force to each breast. Because breast size is not taken into consideration, this approach leads to large variation...
