Abstract
The present embodiments relate to an add-on unit for an object table of a mammography device for positioning a breast of a patient during an X-ray exposure. The add-on unit permits a symmetric collimation during MLO exposures. Use of the add-on unit is less resource-intensive than mammography devices with movable compression plates. Easier placement of an inner arm of the patient on the object table is also possible.
