Comparison of Analog and Digital Spot Magnified Mammography

Digital mammography has been identified as a new technology with the potential to improve the detection and further analysis of suspected breast cancer [1]. Small field CCD imaging systems are used currently for guidance of stereotaxic breast needle biopsy procedures [2]. The potential advantages of digital mammography include improved contrast sensitivity, rapid image aquisition and post-image processing [3]. We conducted an observer study to compare the technical qualities of analog and digital spot magnified images.
