title: The mammographic demonstration of malignant spicules.
abstract: A specimen of breast tissue containing a carcinoma with multiple spiculations was used as a test object and examined by a range of mammographic techniques. The images were compared with a photograph of the cleared specimen. A quantitative method of evaluating the performance of each technique is described and used to compare these images. Xeroradiography clearly excelled other imaging methods.
