Incidence tangentielle. Cette incidence est indiquée lorsque l'on veut prouver que l'anomalie détectée est de siège cutané ou sous-cutané [...] Pour la réaliser, il faut, dans un premier temps, prendre les coordonnées de l'anomalie dans les trois plans de l'espace (sur des clichés orthogonaux) et mettre un repère radio-opaque à l'aplomb de l'anomalie. [...] Dans un second temps, le sein ou le tube à rayons X est positionné de telle sorte que le faisceau soit tangentiel par rapport au repère cutané, amenant ainsi la zone à examiner le plus près possible du plan cutané. 2, record 1, French, - incidence%20tangentielle
