The breast compression using two planar paddles for CC view compression (a) and MLO view compression (b) for case # 1. Each paddle size is 24 × 30 cm2. The arrows indicate the moving direction of the compression paddle. The compression paddles move toward each other. The initial distances between compression paddles are 15.3 cm for CC compressions and 17.1 cm for MLO compressions.
