One-view mammographic screening?

HL Libshitz, S Fetouh, J Isley and RG Lester

Repeated mammographic exposures of asymptomatic women in the screening situation has raised questions regarding possible risks. Obtaining only one view, regardless of imaging technique, would approximately halve the exposure. While retrospective analysis indicates further investigation is warranted, one-view mammographic screening is not yet recommended. The lateral view, including the chest wall, would reduce exposure by approximatley 44% but little savings in technologist time could be anticipated.
