2. 1. Silicon Strip Detectors for Scanned Multi-Slit X-Ray Imaging

   Author : Mats Lundqvist; KTH; []
   Keywords : x-ray; silicon strip detectors; mammography; multi-slit; scanned slit; edge-on;

   Abstract : Digital imaging systems for medical applications must bebased upon highly efficient detectors to ensure low patientdose. This is particularly important in screening mammographybecause of the large number healthy women that is examined. Amammography system must also provide high spatial and contrastresolution.
