چکیده
AbstractIntroduction Breast compression during mammographic examinations improves image quality and patient management. Several studies have been conducted to assess force variability among practitioners in order establish guidelines. However, no such study has Ghana. This aims investigate the mammography Methods retrospective used data gathered from 1071 screening diagnostic patients January, 2018–December, 2019. Data were by seven radiographers at three centers. Compression force, breast thickness practitioners' years of work experience recorded. correlation between investigated. Results Mean values recorded for craniocaudal (CC) (17.2 daN) mediolateral oblique (MLO) (18.2 daN), within recommended western countries. Most mammograms performed – 80% National Health Service Screening Programme (NHSBSP) range. 65% above Norwegian Cancer (NBCSP) forces varied significantly (p = 0.0001) practitioners. increased with experience. A weak negative (r −0.144) a positive 0.142) established CC MLO projections respectively. Conclusion initial confirmed that although wide variations exist Ghana, most broadly range set NHSBSP. As national guidelines currently provision these may help reduce Implications practice Confirmation will guide future practice minimize disparities improve care.
