    Abstract: The present invention relates to compression of breasts during mammography, and in particular to a compression element for a breast holding arrangement for mammography examinations. In order to ensure an increased user comfort and an improved application of pressure force, a compression element (10) for a breast holding arrangement for mammography examinations is provided, comprising a supporting structure (12), a first surface (14), and a second surface (16). The supporting structure is configured to be attached to a mounting structure for exerting a compression force on a breast under examination. The first and second surfaces are attached to the support structure; and the first and second surfaces are arranged facing in opposite directions. The second surface is provided to compress the breast under examination. The first surface is provided to be visible to a user, wherein the first surface is provided as an optically adaptable surface (18). The first and second surfaces are provided to be at least temporarily partly transparent.

    Abstract: According to an aspect, a control unit (130) adapted to be communicatively coupled to a window (110) is provided. The window is adapted to controllably effect changing of color temperature of light transmitted through the window. The control unit is configured to obtain a signal indicative of the color temperature of light which is to be, and/or has been, transmitted through the window, and control the window at least with respect to color temperature of light transmitted through the window based at least on the signal indicative of color temperature. With the present control unit, it may be possible to maintain a certain color temperature even if the color temperature of the light to be transmitted through the window changes.
