It is critical for mammography screening programs to include a language interpretation service that targets patients from multiple cultural backgrounds to enhance effective communication during positioning. This study highlights best positioning technique by radiographers that may impact women with extreme thorax curvature or protruding ribs, and subsequent obstruction in optimal positioning.
