Special mammography views
Special mammography exams are the magnification views or focal/spot
compression views (to make a small area of breast tissue easier to evaluate)
that make use of a dedicated bucky.
It might be that the DR detector does not fit in this magnification bucky
because only one size of detector is available at your mammography centre. In
this case we advise an alternative workflow:
1.
Use the spot compression paddle on the regular bucky instead of the
magnification bucky of the modality.
2.
Use the software tools of the NX workstation or the diagnostic review
station to enlarge the local area of interest on the standard MLO and CC
exams.
