title: [Experimental studies on image quality in conventional film screen system, digital phosphor storage plate mammography in mangnification technique and digital mammography in CCD-technique].
abstract: Comparison of image quality between conventional film screen system, digital phosphor storage plate mammography in magnification technique and digital mammography in CCD-technique.
  
  
  METHODS
  Radiograms of a RMI-mammography phantom were acquired using a conventional film screen system, two digital storage plate systems and two digital systems in CCD-technique. Additionally, the radiograms of one digital phosphor storage plate system were postprocessed emphasizing contrast and included in the comparison.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The detectability of details was the best with the digital mammography in CCD-technique in comparison with the conventional film screen technique resp. digital phosphor storage plate in magnification technique.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Based on these results there is the possibility to replace the conventional film screen system by further studies--this has to be confirmed.
