Abstract
On the one hand the overall incidence of breast cancer increased in the last years, on the other hand there are successful screening programs in different countries. Today it seems to be necessary to use digital technique in mammography to reduce costs, integrate mammography into compound digital systems and to use telemammography and computer aided diagnosis. Mammography needs a high spacial resolution, which is a considerable problem for digital technique and therefore very often discussed. So digital techniques for routine mammography are in the beginning today, whereas they are used at other fields of radiology for years.
