Mammographic screening for breast cancer by lateral view only: is it practical?
Abstract:
If a single lateral examination would suffice for mammography, sose and risk would be cut in half in screening procedures. This prospective study of 150 lateral xerographic images would indicate that, while 80% true positive rate can be achieved using a single lateral view, the projected savings in radiation exposure does not offset the losses due to cancers not detected by this single exposure screening method.
