Breast imaging: dual-energy projection radiography with digital radiography.
Dual-energy projection radiography was applied to breast examinations. To perform the dual-energy subtraction radiography with use of a digital radiography unit, high- and low-energy projections were made at an appropriate time interval under differing x-ray exposure conditions. Dual-energy projection radiography appears to offer clear, detailed images and may be a useful supplement to standard mammography.
