Excerpt

Numerous publications suggest the compression force applied in mammography must be reduced to encourage initial/continued attendance by women. These studies (many with limited patient populations) have not used sufficient statistical correlation of compression force data to image quality to reinforce these contentions. The growth of digital mammography has enabled a comparison of compression force and image quality in analogue and digital images. …
