Abstract
In a compression unit of a mammography apparatus, a breast is compressed between a first compression plane and a second compression plane. At least one of the first and second compression planes is formed by a fabric. The compression unit allows a breast to be maintained in a fixed, compressed state while acquiring an x-ray image of the compressed breast and the compressed state is maintained for subsequently acquiring an ultrasound image of the compressed breast.
