F Part I Flashcards
standard mammo views
MLO and CC
[MLO] CR
enter medial aspect towards lateral aspect
[MLO] IR
located lateral
[MLO] disadvantage
lacks uniformity bc of inclusion of pectoralis muscle
[CC] CR
directed from superior to inferior
[CC] advantage
view well uniform breast tissue
less inclusion of pectoral muscle
[purpose] spot compression
-even out breast
-emphasize a part
- apply pressure to check calcification
BB location for spot compression combined with magnification
near palpable mass
spot compression is best for: [..]
true lesion superimposed
difficult to reach areas
can be used w/ magnification
magnification is best for: [..]
calcification
architectural distortion
mass margins
**compensate use of small focal spot
T/F Mammo has 80-90% true positive rate for cancer detection w/o implants and 60% with implants
T
reasons for breast implants
-reconstruct br after surgery
-correct congenital/traumatic deformities
-increase/remodel br for cosmetic purposes
br implants materials
silicon and saline
describe Eklund Technique/ Image Displacement
implant pushed posteriorly against chest wall and br tissue is pulled anteriorly and compressed
augmented br complications
fibrosis
hardening
leakage
pain
