Screening Mammography (Romanian)

What is your full name?

What is your date of birth?

I will use this program to give you instructions in your own language. This program is not an interpreter. It cannot help us talk to each other. It can only give you instructions to help me take your pictures.

Now, we will take your pictures. To take a picture, I will place your breast onto this plate. The paddle will come down to hold your breast in place. Then you will need to stay very still. You will need to hold your breath for a few seconds. I will tell you when to stop and when to start breathing. This helps me take a good picture. If the picture is good, we can continue. If the picture is not good, we will need to repeat it.

Now, we will take pictures of your right breast. Please take your right arm out of your robe.

Please raise your right arm up and rest your hand on this area.

Now, I will move your breast forward and I will use the paddle to keep your breast in place. The paddle needs to be tight. When I have you in the correct position, please stay very still. You can breathe normally until I tell you to stop.

Thank you. You can put your arm back into your robe.

Now, we will take pictures of the other breast.

Please, try to relax.

Please, turn your head to the left.

Please, lower your right shoulder.

Take a deep breath in.

Please, bend your right knee.

Now, we will take pictures of your left breast. Please take your left arm out of your robe.

Please raise your left arm up and rest your hand on this area.

Now, I will move your breast forward and I will use the paddle to keep your breast in place. The paddle needs to be tight. When I have you in the correct position, please stay very still. You can breathe normally until I tell you to stop.
