Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Subjects With Acceptable Overall Clinical Image Quality for Patient-assisted (PA) and Technologist-controlled (TC) Image Sets — 30; 30 Participants
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.
