PNL stands for in breast imaging?

Posterior Nipple Line is a reference line used in breast imaging. It runs from the nipple toward the posterior edge of the breast and helps radiologists ensure that enough tissue behind the nipple is captured in the mammogram and that the technique (compression, coverage) is adequate. The other terms don’t correspond to standard terminology in breast radiology, so they don’t describe any recognized imaging reference.
