Abstract
Current practice for the selection of the angle of the bucky in Australia is varied and non-standardised. Variation in positioning techniques may lead to inconsistency in image quality and reproducibility and could ultimately compromise the diagnostic value of the images produced. Further research into the most appropriate method for the selection of the bucky angle needs to be undertaken to inform a standardised approach to bucky angle selection, to maximise the visualisation of breast tissue and the early detection of breast cancer.
