Reversed CC view

Radswiki and Stefano Pacifici et al.

The reversed CC view is an additional view. It is useful for the study of breasts with surgical scars in the lower quadrants. The ability to see the scar through the compressor paddle offers to the mammographer the possibility to flatten it properly, reducing the formation of scar folds as well artifacts from false parenchymal distortion.
