Direct digital mammography using a scanned-slot CCD imaging system.
In this paper, the rationale for digital mammography is presented in terms of the limitations of conventional mammography. Various approaches to digital image acquisition are discussed and the design of a scanned-slot digital mammography system currently under development is described. Preliminary results including an image of an anthropomorphic breast phantom are presented.
