A study published in European Journal of Radiology (EJR), compared mammographic compression between sites in the Netherlands and the United States and concludes that calculating and tracking compression pressure could help standardize mammography quality and patient experience. (DOI, December 30, 2014: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejrad.2014.12.012) The article "Mammographic compression - A need for mechanical standardization" used VolparaAnalytics from Volpara Solutions to compare average force, pressure, breast thickness, breast volume, volumetric breast density and average glandular dose between patient populations.
