High Resolution Mammography Using a Scanned Slit Silicon Strip Detector

  • Chapter
Digital Mammography

Abstract

It is generally believed that digital mammography is the most promising technique for early detection of breast-cancer[1]. However, there are many technological challenges associated with digital mammography. With the high resolution and low noise needed for detection of micro-calcifications and low contrast tumors, a tremendous amount of data has to be acquired and read out in a few seconds. This puts difficult constraints on electronics and the data-acquisiton system.
