title: History and recent developments in xeroradiography of the breast.
abstract: The article deals in very broad terms with the development of xeroradiography. The imaging process is a by-product of the search by Chester Carlson for a method to copy documents. The early experimental work was done at Battelle Memorial Institute, Columbus, Ohio. Clinical trials followed the fabrication of a machine by the Xerox Corporation. The machine as we know it today was introduced to the market in 1970-1971.
