What is important is establishing the principles for adapting the technique to variations in breast opacity. The average breast: Let us take as an example a breast measuring 3 cm under compression with 50% adipose tissue as shown by the film. +-_ c::±::================t=J Fig.
In the latter case, the opaque patch is not found in all views (Fig. 52). The area in question is the site of an actual increase in opacity corresponding to an edematous process: common inflammation, trauma, estrogen hyperactivity (Fig. 53). The area in question is the site of a dystrophic process. Condensation is due to cellular proliferation (adenosis), sclerosis, and edema (Fig. 54). The area in question is the site of carcinoma: there is no distinguishable nodule. The opacity may be due to the cell multiplication as well as the edema (Fig.
By eliminating primary radiation from zone 2 (outside the spot), its secondary rays are kept from interfering with that part of the film to be studied (area A). Secondary rays from zone 1 (examined), however, will reach area B of the film. Actually, the resulting halo measures no more than 1 mm. In other words, the effect of the spot on secondary radiation is negligible. There are, however, some cases where local compression by the "spot" is considered to be effective. The best solution would be localized compression without the cone.
