    摘要: According to one aspect of an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, an imaging device or system (10), e.g., a mammography imaging system or device (12), includes a breast holding pad (200) disposed on one or both of a compression paddle (28) and a compression surface (50) on the imaging device (10). The breast holding pad (200) is formed with a central layer (202), a first, securing adhesive layer (204) on one side (205)of the central layer (202) and a second, biocompatible adhesive layer (206) disposed on the opposite side (207) of the central layer (202). The biocompatible adhesive (204,206) operates to securely hold the breast (52) during any imaging and/or biopsy procedure performed utilizing the imaging system (10). Further, with the use of one or both pads (200), the amount of compression force required to hold the breast (52) in a stationary position between the compression paddle (28) and the compression surface (50) can be reduced, thereby decreasing the discomfort to the patient during the imaging and/or biopsy procedure performed.
