Abstract
A cone beam breast computed tomography system includes a breast stabilization unit with an internal surface region including a breast contact portion, where the breast contact portion serves to support a patient breast and maintain the position and stability of the breast during tomographic imaging. Certain removable breast stabilization units are received within a receiver of a patient interface panel of the cone beam breast computed tomography system, allowing selection and application of a breast stabilization unit compatible with the characteristics of a particular patient.
