摘要： A method of determining performance characteristics of a breast compression paddle utilized in a breast imaging system includes receiving a force application signal, wherein the force application signal is associated with an application of a compressive force by the breast imaging system with the breast compression paddle to a breast of a patient. The method applies the force application signal to an algorithm to obtain a reduction value. The reduction value is subtracted from a known paddle performance value for the breast compression paddle to obtain an updated paddle performance value for the breast compression paddle.
