1) The central ray always enters the breast obliquely from the superomedial aspect and exits laterally. This is true for both the mediolateral oblique (MLO) and craniocaudal (CC) projections.
2) The marker is typically placed along the upper border of the breast for the MLO projection to indicate patient position and laterality.
3) The breast should not droop on the image. The technologist should ensure that the patient is positioned properly and the compression paddle is applied correctly to avoid image distortion or blurring.
