5.7 PATIENT POSITIONING
NOTE!
Always advise the patient not to use deodorant prior to a mammographic
examination! Certain deodorants can mimic micro-calcifications on the
film.
NOTE!
In case the patient moves in the middle of a procedure or compression
thickness is changed, in order to guarantee the accuracy of the
examination the procedure should be started from the beginning.
