Exploring the impact of the female thoracic size, breast size and image receptor angles on the volume of missing breast tissue in mammographic imaging
These findings can be modelled in current clinical practice on women presented for mammography examinations with varying thorax and breast sizes, allowing optimal IR angle selection and therefore resulting in improved breast tissue inclusion and subsequently a more accurate breast cancer diagnosis.
