Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate if the glandular dose to the breast in mammography can significantly be reduced without compromising image quality, when using photon counting technology, in a multi-slit scanning photon counting detector, compared to a conventional film mammography system and commercial available digital mammography systems with TFT-array detectors.
