BIOPSY METHODS
29
Position and compress. Note the compression thickness so
that you can make an adjustment if the compression value
changes. Mark on the breast with a felt-tip pen the inner corners
of the compression plate. In this way, you have control over the
positioning and you will notice at once if the patient has moved.
Perform stereo exposures and evaluate in accordance with the
Operating Instructions for “Stereotactic Biopsy Attachment”.
Never leave the patient on her own. Keep eye contact and
stand close, a warm hand on her shoulder can be supportive.
Explain the procedure as it progresses.
