Abstract

Objective: Visualisation of the pectoralis muscle on craniocaudal (CC) views of the breast (Figure), is used to evidence posterior breast tissue inclusion. 1 The most commonly cited visualisation rate, originating in the film screen era is 32%, and anecdotally called the ‘30% rule’. 2 This research investigates the visualisation rate of the pectoralis muscle on digitally acquired CC views of the female breast and factors which may influence its presence on the image.
