2003 OCT 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Dual-energy imaging in full-field digital mammography is investigated.

"A dual-energy technique which employs the basis decomposition method is being investigated for application to digital mammography," investigators in Italy report.

"A three-component phantom, made up of Plexiglas, polyethylene, and water, was doubly exposed with the full-field digital mammography system manufactured by General Electric," wrote A. Taibi and colleagues, University of Ferrara.

"The 'low' and 'high' energy images were recorded with a Mo/Mo anode-filter combination and a Rh/Rh combination, respectively. The total dose was kept within the acceptable levels of conventional mammography," the researchers wrote.

"The first hybrid images obtained with the dual-energy algorithm are presented in comparison with a conventional radiograph of the phantom. Image-quality characteristics at contrast cancellation angles between Plexiglas ...
