3.4.1 Compression paddles
21x24 cm compression paddle
The 21x24 cm compression
paddle is the standard
paddle used with the 18x24
cm film format when using
the Bucky.
Usually, this paddle is used
with 18x24 cm film and
should not be used with the
24x30 cm film and the
corresponding Buckies,
because it does not apply
compression to the whole
breast being imaged,
especially to the upper quadrant of the breast in oblique and lateral views.
However, it can be used to examine women who have a long breast to
shoulder distance.
24x30 cm compression paddle
The 24x30 cm compression
paddle is used with the
24x30cm Bucky.
It applies compression to the
whole breast area being
imaged.
