General advice
It is always important to inform the patient how
the examination will be performed. It should be
explained why it is necessary to compress the breast
and that it will be uncomfortable for a short time.
Always keep the patient under observation. If the
patient is very sensitive to pain or very nervous, it is
recommended that two radiographers attend in
the room. Begin each setting by chosing the correct
slide marker for the desired projection. With Siemens
fixed markings, the risk of faulty marking is limited.
The marking for a cranio-caudal projection is always
found on the lateral side of the breast.
