Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Mammography is used for screening, diagnosis, therapeutic evaluation and monitoring of local cancer breast. It is sometimes poorly tolerated by some patients who complain of an uncomfortable examination or pain. Breast compression by the manipulator aims to reduce the thickness of the breast during mammography; This act is an important factor of pain or discomfort felt by the patient. But, it is also an image quality factor. This study aimed to compare self-breast compression by the patient to the compression standard technique carried out by the manipulator.

- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Arm A
- description
- Patients have a mammography performed by themselves according to auto-compression procedure. The radiologist leads the compression at a minimum threshold of 40 Newton, then leaves the control of the compression to the patient. The radiologist treats only the positioning of the breast on the sensor.
