what is a spot view
This is from imaginis.com, found via Google - suggest you google and check out the site, which seems to be very informative:
Spot compression is also known as compression mammogram, spot view, cone views, or focal compression views. All mammograms involve compression of the breast. Spot views apply the compression to a smaller area of tissue using a small compression plate or cone. By applying compression to only a specific area of the breast, the effective pressure is increased on that spot. This results in better tissue separation and allows better visualization of the small area in question. Spot compression views show the borders of an abnormality or questionable area better than the standard mammography views. Some areas that look unusual on the standard mammography images are often shown to be normal tissue on the spot views. True abnormalities usually appear more prominently and the margins (borders) of the abnormality can be better seen on compression views.
