[The oblique mediolateral view of the breast (author's transl)].
The oblique mediolateral position provides the single most important view in mammography. It ensures optimal delineation of the largest possible area of the mammary gland including the axilla thus making an additional axillary view unnecessary. In a considerable precentage of cases it is usefull to take a film size of 20 x 30 cm instead of 18 x 24 cm. This view provides better results in radiomammography compared with xeromammography under present technical conditions.
