Zusammenfassung:An imaging assembly 100;200;300 includes a compression system 112;306 configured to receive and compress an object to be imaged. The compression system includes a first compression paddle 114;312;500;600 and a second compression paddle 118;318;500;600. The imaging assembly further includes an ultrasound system 122;304 including a first ultrasound probe 126;314 coupled to the first compression paddle. The first ultrasound probe is configured to acquire a first portion of the ultrasound image information of the object. The ultrasound system also includes a second ultrasound probe 146;320 coupled to the second compression paddle. The second ultrasound probe is configured to acquire a second portion of the ultrasound image information of the object.
