A compression paddle with a plurality of markers is advanced towards a patient's breast which has been positioned on a support platform for an imaging procedure. An initial position of the compression paddle is detected relative to the support platform when a portion of the breast is contacted. An initial marker is identified which is associated with a feature of the breast when the compression paddle is in the initial position. A compression target marker is based at least in part on the initial position and the initial marker.

A method for determining performance characteristics of breast compression paddles utilized in a breast imaging system includes receiving a force application signal associated with the application of a compression force by the breast imaging system to a patient's breast using breast compression paddles. The method applies the force application signal to an algorithm to obtain a reduction value. The reduction value is subtracted from a known paddle performance value for the breast compression paddle to obtain an updated paddle performance value for the breast compression paddle.

This invention discloses a breast pump capable of extraction, comprising a cover, an extraction mechanism, and a negative pressure assembly. The cover is a hemispherical shell structure with a through-hole in the center of its outer surface. The extraction mechanism is mounted on the cover. The negative pressure assembly includes a straw, a collection cup, a negative pressure pump, and a negative pressure tube. One end of the straw slides through the extraction hole, extends into the inner side of the cover, and is rotatably connected to the cup. The top of the collection cup has a lid, and the other end of the straw is connected to the top of the lid and communicates with the inside of the collection cup. The negative pressure pump is connected to the top of the inside of the collection cup via the negative pressure tube. This breast pump extracts milk by attaching the cover to the outside of the breast and placing the cup over the outside of the nipple area, using negative pressure suction. The extracted milk flows into the collection cup through the straw for storage. The extraction mechanism squeezes the breast, which, combined with the negative pressure suction within the cup, better promotes milk flow and improves the efficiency of milk extraction.

To improve breast mammography imagery via use of a digital “slot scanning” imaging system that accommodates the changing thickness of the breast from the chest wall to the nipple by scanning the breast from the chest outward to the nipple or vice versa instead of the side-to-side methodology and using Automatic Exposure Control or AEC parameters optimized for the changing thickness and composition of the breast at each scan location and an improved breast compression device, wherein uniform breast compression mechanism includes a first breast plate and a second breast plate, wherein at least one of said first breast plate and said second breast plates includes an angle adjustment or tilt to account for the high variability in breast sizes and configurations while maintaining optimal immobilization with excellent patient comfort.

The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a mammary gland post-operation compression belt which comprises a compression belt body and a compression belt accessory, the compression belt accessory comprises a base and a plurality of air bag assemblies; the air bag assembly comprises an elastic film, a push plate and an air inflation pipe, a cavity is formed in the base, the elastic film is arranged on the base, an air cavity is formed between the push plate and the elastic film, and the air inflation pipe is matched with the air cavity; when the air cavity is not inflated, the elastic film is in an initial state, at the moment, the elastic film is shrunken, and the push plate does not abut against the compression belt body; when the air cavity is gradually inflated through the inflation pipe, the push plate and the cavity move relatively, so that the push plate abuts against the compression belt body, and the elastic film gradually deforms and expands. According to the compression band used after the mammary gland operation, for some patients who are hobby in fitness and do long-time exercise of big and small round muscles, in the process that the patients use the strip-shaped compression band, the breast compression bandaging effect of the patients after the mammary gland operation can be improved.

A method of controlling an X-ray system can include placing a breast of a patient into a breast compression assembly including a breast positioning area. Denseness of tissue of the breast is measured using an absorption contrast imaging apparatus, and the results are transmitted to a work-station. The absorption contrast imaging measurement results are processed using the work-station to determine coordinates of potential cancer sites in the tissue. The absorption contrast imaging apparatus is moved away from the breast positioning area, and a diffractometer is moved into the breast positioning. Measurements are performed at the coordinates of the potential cancer sites using a diffractometer, and the results are transmitted to the work-station. The obtained diffractometer measurement results are processed using the work-station to perform analysis of the diffractometer measurement results, and to perform diagnostics using the analyzed diffractometer measurement results.

The utility model discloses a massage formula breast pressure bandage of convenient fixed arm, including pressure bandage strip, pressure bandage strip contains first shoulder belt and massage subassembly, first shoulder belt number all is provided with two with first shoulder belt one end fixedly connected with second shoulder belt, second shoulder belt one end is connected with mounting seat through connecting rod occlusion, mounting seat one end fixedly connected in pressure bandage strip inner wall, be provided with adjusting buckle between first shoulder belt and second shoulder belt, massage subassembly sets up on pressure bandage strip inner wall, pressure bandage strip both ends are provided with first magic tape and second magic tape respectively, mounting seat number all is provided with four, and four mounting seats are all fixed mounting in pressure bandage strip inner wall, and four mounting seat positions are two by two compatible, can realize to the patient wearing pressure bandage when relative adaptation and comfort and to the stable massage of breast.

A curved compression element, such as a breast compression paddle, and imaging systems and methods for use with curved compression elements. A system may include a radiation source, a detector, and a curved compression element. Operations are performed that include receiving image data from the detector; accessing a correction map for the at least one compression paddle; correcting the image data based on the correction map to generate a corrected image data; and generating an image of the breast based on the corrected image data. The breast compression element generally has no sharp edges, but rather has smooth edges and transitions between surfaces. The breast compression paddle also includes a flexible material that spans a portion of a curved bottom surface of the breast compression paddle to define a gap. The flexible material may be a thin-film material such as a shrink wrap.

A tube arm assembly is rotatably connected to the floor mounted gantry of a breast imaging system. A support arm connected to the tube arm assembly can be independently rotated and positioned in a first angle, second angle, and a level position. A compression arm is configured to support a breast compression paddle and is linearly positionable on the support arm. Display screens and a sensor are disposed on an upper surface of the compression arm. Based on a signal received from the sensor, a controller is configured to change the read-ready orientation of each arm display.

A bracket body releasably secures a compression element to the compression arm of a breast imaging system. A pair of parallel lateral arms extends from a rigid frame which extends from the bracket. A span connects the ends of the lateral arms opposite the bracket and a flexible membrane extends from the span towards the bracket body.
