Ist eine Individualisierung der mammografischen Brustkompression sinnvoll? – Untersuchungen zu Schmerzangaben bei der Mammografie in Bezug auf Kompressionskraft und Fläche der komprimierten Brust
Abstract:ABTR ACTPurpose The aim of this paper is to determine how the presence of pain during mammographic compression could be reduced. To this end, we examine its relationship with compression force, surface-area of the compressed breast, breast density (ACR) and former operations.
Materials and MethodsIn 199 women 765 mammograms were performed. Women were asked to rate the level of pain on a scale of 0 -10 (0: no, 10: highest pain). The surface-area of the breast under compression captured by the mammograms was mea… Show more
