  AxillaView	Axilla view	An axillary view (also known as a "Cleopatra view") is a type of view in mammography. It is an exaggerated craniocaudal view for better imaging of the lateral portion of the breast to the axillary tail. This projection is performed whenever we want to show a lesion seen only in the axillary tail on the MLO view. An optimal axillary view require to be clearly displayed the most lateral portion of the breast including the axillary tail, as well the pectoral muscle and the nipple in profile. [https://radiopaedia.org/articles/axillary-view?lang=us] Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
  AxillaryTailView	Axillary tail view	The tail of Spence (Spence's tail, axillary process, axillary tail) is an extension of the tissue of the breast that extends into the axilla.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_of_Spence] Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
  Biopsy	Biopsy	A biopsy is recommended. An examination under a microscope of the specific tissue removed from the body. The examination is used to check for abnormalities or cancer cells. Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI NM.

The patient will bend forward at the waist to view the underside of the breast. Also called a reverse CC view. The reversed CC view is an additional view. It is useful for the study of breasts with surgical scars in the lower quadrants. The ability to see the scar through the compressor paddle offers to the mammographer the possibility to flatten it properly, reducing the formation of scar folds as well artifacts from false parenchymal distortion. Valid for the following modalities: MG US.

This results in better tissue separation and allows better visualization of the area of the breast needing additional examination. Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
  ConeCompression	Cone compression	A cone compression is recommended to catch a specific spot or view during the mammogram and/or ultrasound. Spot views apply the compression to a smaller area of tissue using a small compression plate or "cone". Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
  CoreBiopsy	Core Biopsy	It is recommended that a core biopsy procedure is administered. It is a procedure where a needle is passed through the skin to take a sample of tissue from a mass or lump.

  CystAspiration	Cyst aspiration	A cyst aspiration is a procedure used to drain fluid from a breast cyst. The vast majority of cysts are benign (non-cancerous), though some are quite tender. Aspirating the fluid from a cyst may alleviate symptoms or discomfort. In some cases, specimens are sent to pathology. [www.carolmilgardbreastcenter.org > Cyst_Aspiration] Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
  CystAspirationForRelief	Cyst aspiration for relief	One way to get relief from the pain of a cyst is to remove fluid from the cyst, thereby decreasing the pressure. This is called aspiration for relief. Valid for the following modalities: US.
  DiagnosticAspiration	Diagnostic aspiration	This is a fine needle aspiration and is a type of biopsy procedure. In fine needle aspiration, a thin needle is inserted into an area of abnormal-appearing tissue or body fluid. [https://www.webmd.com > a-to-z-guides > fine-needle-aspiration] Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
  DiagnosticMammogram	Diagnostic Mammogram	While screening mammograms are used as a routine check-up for breast health, diagnostic mammograms are used after suspicious results on a screening mammogram or after some signs of breast cancer alert the physician to check the tissue.These signs may include a lump or breast pain. [https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/diagnostic-mammogram] Valid for the following modalities: MG.
  DrainageTube	Drainage tube	The recommendation is for a drainage tube to be attached to breast. A drainage tube is a tube used to remove pus, blood or other fluids from a wound. This is a common practice by surgeons or interventional radiologists. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain_(surgery)] Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
  Ductography	Ductography	A ductogram, also called a galactogram, is a special type of mammogram used for imaging the breast ducts. It can aid in diagnosing the cause of abnormal nipple discharges. Ductography (also called galactography or ductogalactography) is a special type of contrast enhanced mammography used for imaging the breast ducts. Ductography can aid in diagnosing the cause of an abnormal nipple discharge and is valuable in diagnosing intraductal papillomas and other conditions. [https://www.imaginis.com/mammography/ductogram-galactogram-imaging-the-breast-ducts] Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
  ExaggeratedCCViews	Exaggerated CC views	An XCCL view is a supplementary mammographic view. It is a type of exaggerated cranio-caudal view. It is particularly good for imaging the lateral aspect of the breast. It is often done when a lesion is suspected on a MLO view but cannot be seen on the CC view. In this view, the lateral aspect of the breast is placed forward. One rationale of performing this view is that many cancers are located in the lateral aspect of the breast. An XCCM view is a supplementary mammographic view. It is a type of exaggerated cranio-caudal view. It is particularly good for imaging the medial portion of the breast. In this view, the medial portion of the breast is placed forward. A negative 15degrees tube tilt is suggested. An optimal XCCM view requires the most medial portion of the breast and the nipple in profile to be clearly displayed. [https://radiopaedia.org/articles/xccl-view?lang=us] Valid for the following modalities: MG US.
  FNABiopsy	FNA biopsy	FNA stands for Fine needle aspiration and this is a type of biopsy procedure. In fine needle aspiration, a thin needle is inserted into an area of abnormal-appearing tissue or body fluid.

A rolled CC view Is performed to locate a lesion only visible in the cranio-caudal view, or when overlapped tissues in the standard view can simulate or partially conceal a lesion: changing of tissues distribution allows to determine whether or not its presence. When the lesion identified moves medially or laterally respect to the standard projection, it is possible to determine in which quadrant it is localized.

  ScintimammogramGuidedBiopsy	Scintimammogram Guided Biopsy	A Scintimammogram guided biopsy is recommended. This is performed by taking samples of an abnormality under guidance from the Scintimammogram. Scintimammography uses small amounts of radioactive material, a special camera and a computer to help investigate a breast abnormality. This helps to guide the radiologist's biopsy equipment to the site of the imaging abnormality. [https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=breastbixr] Valid for the following modalities: MG.
  Scintimammography	Scintimammography	A scintimammogram is recommended. Scintimammography is also known as nuclear medicine breast imaging, Breast Specific Gamma Imaging (BSGI) and Molecular Breast Imaging (MBI). This type of exam is used to investigate a breast abnormality found with mammography. Scintimammography uses small amounts of radioactive material, a special camera and a computer to help investigate a breast abnormality. Scintimammography can detect cancer even when dense breast tissue and breast implants are present. It can reduce unnecessary procedures by helping determine whether a biopsy is needed. [https://www.radiologyinfo.org/en/info.cfm?pg=scintimammo] Valid for the following modalities: MG US MRI.
  SpotCompression	Spot compression	A spot compression is recommended. A spot view (also known as a spot compression view or focal compression view) is an additional mammographic view performed by applying the compression to a smaller area of tissue using a small compression paddle, increasing the effective pressure on that spot. This results in better tissue separation and allows better visualization of the breast tissue in that area. It is used to distinguish between the presence of a true lesion and an overlap of tissues, as well to better show the borders of an abnormality or questionable area or a little cluster of faint microcalcifications in a dense area.
