The purpose of this article is to demonstrate imaging techniques and interpretations of additional mammography
and to provide algorithms of clinical applications of additional mammography in terms of lesion and patient
characteristics. From 2007 to 2011, we reviewed additional mammography as well as screening mammography,
ultrasound, or breast magnetic resonance imaging and clinical and pathological reports. We included spot compression
view, magnification view, lateral view, exaggerated craniocaudal view, tangential view, rolled view, and
Eklund view as additional mammography. In a diagnostic population, additional mammography has significant
advantages for detection and diagnosis of breast lesions. Therefore, additional mammography should not be overlooked
and replaced by other breast imaging modalities such as ultrasound or breast magnetic resonance imaging.
