    Abstract : Early detection is vital to successfully treating breast cancer, and mammography screening is the most efficient and wide-spread method to reach this goal. Imaging low-contrast targets, while minimizing the radiation exposure to a large population is, however, a major challenge. READ MORE

    Abstract : In the 1970s, it was determined that screening mammography is an efficient tool in fighting the increasing number of women dying from breast cancer, and many countries have established screening programs since then. Mammography systems have improved substantially over the years with one of the major advances being the transition from x-ray film to digital x-ray detectors. READ MORE
