Detection of early markers In Mammography

Objectif

Some lethal diseases, such as Breast Cancer, can be effectively treated if diagnosed early in their development. Thus periodic widespread screening of women above a certain age is desirable. Such practice can greatly benefit from a reduction of the radiation doses delivered by conventional machines now in use, and from an improvement on the detection of low contrast objects, now limited by intrinsic noise. We propose to develop an X-ray imaging device, based on Dante detectors coupled to photon-counting front-end electronics, able to deliver better quality radiography than conventional film, with a very substantial reduction of the dose. The main application of the system would be screening for the very early detection of Breast Cancer, but it could also be used for other diseases, such as Osteoporosis or radiology in general. The radiography produced will be digital in nature and directly treatable by modern imaging processing techniques.
