Summary

This study tests whether the order in which mammogram images are taken affects pain and satisfaction in women who have had breast cancer. 400 women who had breast-conserving surgery will be randomly assigned to one of four view sequences during their annual surveillance mammogram. The goal is to find the most comfortable sequence without changing the standard imaging.
