ASSESSMENT OF PAIN DURING MAMMOGRAPHY BY A DEVICE FOR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PERCEPTION AND PAIN

Mieko Uchiyama, Yongbum Lee
Abstract:
In order to quantitatively measure the degree of pain during mammography, we used a visual analog scale (VAS) and a device for quantitative analysis of perception and pain and performed regression analysis of the relationship between pain degree and VAS score. Twenty-four subjects underwent a typical mammogram and we found no correlation between pain degree using the device compared with VAS scoring.
