With a proven mortality decrease of up to 45%, mammography screening is arguably the best tool for finding cancers early. However, we still miss a significant fraction of the cancers. Digital mammography was a great leap forward, but what can we do next to increase the cancer detection rate?
At this symposium, we will receive a …

A photon-counting spectral detector based on the scanning multislit geometry from Sectra has been developed within the EU-funded Highrex project. It is used in clinical trials to evaluate photon counting tomosynthesis; spectral tomosynthesis; and contrast-enhanced spectral tomosynthesis. A theoretical model of the detector’s spectral performance has been developed and is used to predict the system …
