Abstract: A system and a method are respectively for positioning an examination object and evaluation of an image with respect to a positioning of a breast of an examination object in relation to an x-ray device. In an embodiment, the system includes an x-ray device including at least one compression device to fix a breast of the examination object; at least one camera, arranged in relation to the x-ray device such that images are acquirable via the at least one camera, the images showing a current positioning of the breast of the examination object in relation to the x-ray device; and at least one display device, embodied to display the images.

Abstract: A method is for compression of breast tissue arranged between a paddle and a stage of a compression system for a mammography examination. The method includes generating a first compression of the breast tissue by building up a reference compression force by adjusting the paddle relative to the stage; comparing the first compression with a target compression; and adjusting the first compression to the target compression, the adjusting including exertion of a manual force on the paddle.

Abstract: A biopsy unit is for fixing to a mammography device. In an embodiment, the biopsy unit includes a fixing device and a receptacle for a biopsy needle. The biopsy unit is permanently connectable to the mammography device, and wherein the biopsy unit is pivotable between a rest state and an operating state.

Abstract: A compression unit is for a mammography system. In an embodiment, the compression unit includes an essentially U-shaped accommodating unit including two opposing fastening elements, connected via an adjustable spacer element arranged between the two opposing fastening elements, a distance between the two opposing fastening elements being adjustable. In an embodiment, the compression unit further includes a compression element, fastenable and exchangeable in the accommodating unit.

Abstract: A generator control device for a system generating x-radiation, and a corresponding operating method, arrangement and system are provided. The operating method for the generator control device includes providing configuration data for the system that generates the x-radiation via at least one first communication interface. The method also includes receiving at least one signal for triggering generation of the x-radiation via a second communication interface or the first communication interface. The method includes receiving information for displaying image data from a unit receiving the x-radiation, and providing at least one smart device with the information via a further communication interface.
