[Efficiency and practicability of the oblique mediolateral view as one-view mammography (author's transl)]

With one-view mammography the detection rate for carcinoma would seem to drop considerably, in the screening situation for early carcinoma (T0 and T1) down to 50 to 60% under unfavourable conditions. The precentage of mammographic findings not completely cleared up by one-view mammography amounts to 54% among our patients. One-view mammography therefore seems to be justified neither as screening nor as routine procedure.
