A special view mammogram, also known as a diagnostic mammogram, is a more detailed imaging technique used to further investigate findings from a regular screening mammogram. It involves additional views or angles to provide clearer images of specific areas of concern, such as lumps or abnormalities. This type of mammogram helps radiologists make more accurate diagnoses and determine whether further action is needed. It is typically recommended when a screening mammogram shows potential issues that require closer examination.

How do you get a tangential view in a mammogram?
To obtain a tangential view in a mammogram, the technologist positions the breast so that it is compressed from the side, allowing for a lateral view of the breast tissue. The X-ray beam is angled tangentially to the breast, which helps to visualize superficial structures and lesions that may not be clearly seen in standard views. This technique is particularly useful for assessing calcifications or abnormalities located near the skin surface. Proper patient positioning and compression are essential for optimal image quality.
