ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a mammographic compression technique which permits the paddle to be aligned in any angular view with the cutout portion of the paddle positioned over the implant to reduce the amount of compression of the implant thereby lessening the blockage of the breast tissue. The invention comprises a compression paddle formed of x-ray transmissive material having sidewalls extending normally from a planar bottom surrounding the periphery which lays outside of the cutout portion.
