,Mammography Registry Review Exam
Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
Which view helps with tissue inclusion in special circumstances and
is known as the true reverse oblique? -
correct answer ✅LMO-
Maximizes tissue inclusion in special circumstances such as pectins
excavatum or to reduce discomfort, such as medical devices.
What percentage of patients will you visualize pectoral muscle on
the CC view? -
correct answer ✅30 -40%
What is the main purpose of conducting a CC view? -
correct answer ✅To visualize medial tissue, mid breast, retro-
areolar and some lateral tissue.
Which views are obtained at the time of screening, in addition to
the CC and MLO to include normal anatomy? -
correct answer ✅SUPPLEMENTAL VIEWS
May be needed to include normal anatomy.
May be obtained at the time of the screening without radiologist
approval.
XCCL most common.
,Mammography Registry Review Exam
Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
What is the most commonly performed diagnostic view? -
correct answer ✅90 degree laterals- ML and LM
What is the most commonly performed supplemental view? -
correct answer ✅XCCL-exaggerated cranial caudal.
What view uses the standardized labeling code FB? -
correct answer ✅From Below
On the lateral to medial projection, which part of the breast is
better visualized? -
correct answer ✅The medial because this is the closest breast
tissue to the image detector.
Which views are best used for Triangulation and demonstrating
gravity dependent calcifications? -
correct answer ✅LM-ML-
1. Triangulation: when a lesion is seen well on the MLO but not on
the CC obtaining 90* lateral may help determine location in the CC
using triangulation principles.
2. Gravity Dependent.
, Mammography Registry Review Exam
Questions & Answers (Grade A+)
On the MLO, to what level should the pectoral muscle be
visualized? -
correct answer ✅To the level of the nipple or PNL.
The PNL, should be no more than how many cm difference
between the MLO and the CC? -
correct answer ✅1 cm
On the CC view, what breast tissue has limited visualization? -
correct answer ✅Lateral tissue
When imaging a woman with immobile breast implants and the
displaced view is not possible what additional view should you
perform? -
correct answer ✅Perform a 90* Lateral.
When imaging patients with immobile implants - these will not
displace.
If unable to displace, add a 90* lateral for maximum tissue
inclusion.
Tissue will still be obscured by implant.
