title: New and future developments in screen-film mammography equipment and techniques.
abstract: Two improvements in mammography equipment during the last 4 years will greatly affect the practice of mammography during the next decade: dose reduction and improved testing equipment for monitoring the quality of mammography. The increased use of digital radiography has stimulated studies comparing digital mammography with screen-film mammography. Some digital algorithms for detecting clusters of calcifications may have application in screening mammography within the next decade.
