If a radiologist interpreting a mammogram was not able to view either a region of the breast completely or a possible abnormality completely, the radiologist may recommend additional imaging, including the use of spot compression, to help make a more complete evaluation.
A spot compression mammogram (also called a compression mammogram, a focal compression mammogram, or focal compression) is a type of mammogram in which only a small area of the breast is compressed (by a small plate or cone) during the procedure.
The purpose of a spot compression mammogram is to achieve better imaging of a particular region of the breast.
