Patient-Assisted Compression - Impact on Image Quality and Workflow
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Patient-Assisted (PA) Breast Compression and Technologist-Controlled (TC) Breast Compression for Breast Cancer. Completed, enrolled 31 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is being conducted to compare the image quality of breast images obtained using standard (technologist-controlled \[TC\]) compression and patient-assisted (PA) compression and to evaluate the impact of PA compression on clinical workflow.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The technologist will properly position the breast and apply minimum compression. The subject will be instructed to apply compression as the technologist ensures the breast tissue is in appropriate position and tautness. The technologist will then guide the subject to achieve appropriate compression level, sufficient but not excessive, and the image will be acquired. This will be done for both standard views CC \& MLO.
TC compression will be conducted per standard of care practices at the site.
