Spot compression on mammograms is a technique used to obtain a clearer view of a specific area of breast tissue that may show abnormalities, such as lumps or calcifications. This method involves applying focused pressure to a localized area to flatten the tissue, which enhances image detail and helps radiologists assess potential issues more accurately. By isolating the area of concern, spot compression can aid in better diagnosis and reduce the likelihood of false positives.

Why are mammograms painful?
Mammograms can be uncomfortable or painful due to the compression of breast tissue required to obtain clear images. This pressure can cause temporary discomfort, particularly for women with sensitive breasts or during certain times in their menstrual cycle. Additionally, the size and density of breast tissue can also influence the level of pain experienced during the procedure. While the discomfort is usually brief, it is a necessary step for effective breast cancer screening.
