Double spot compression view
A double spot compression view is obtained by focal compression of both sides of the breast to produce higher spatial and contrast resolution. This is made possible due to the increased amount of breast thinning and a significant decreased incidence of blurring because of decreased exposure time...

Triangulation
Triangulation is a technique for localizing lesions seen on at least two views on 2D mammography.
Technique
hang the CC, MLO, and 90° lateral films (in that order) on the view box
the nipple on each film must be at the same level
use a ruler and place one end over the lesion on the 90° later...

Step-oblique mammography
Step-oblique mammography is an accurate technique for determining whether a mammographic finding visible on multiple images on only one projection (but not elucidated using standard additional mammographic projections) represents a summation artifact or a true mass and for precisely localizing t...

Elevated craniocaudal projection
Elevated craniocaudal projection is an additional trouble shooting view.
Technique
direct beam superiorly to inferiroly
face patient towards unit, feet forward
lean patient inward, relaxing the shoulders
bring inferior aspect of breast onto the image receptor
pull breast outward...

20° oblique projection
20° oblique projection is a troubleshooting projection used in mammography, especially in young women and in follow-up patients.
Technique
The C-arm is turned approximately 20° for a superomedial-inferolateral oblique. With the patient's feet pointing towards the unit and her torso turned slig...

Inferomedial superolateral oblique projection
Inferomedial superolateral oblique projection is useful for stereotactic biopsy positioning. This projection allows access to the inferior aspect of the breast to achieve shortest skin to abnormality distance. It is also useful in the nonconforming patient.
Technique
Rotate C arm to about 125°...
