title = "Potential for cone beam scatter imaging in screening mammography",
abstract = "A system using a wide slot beam and simple anti-scatter grid has been designed to provide a localized map of tissue type that could be overlaid on the simultaneous conventional transmission image to provide an inexpensive, low dose adjunct to conventional screening mammography. The system was demonstrated to differentiate between scatter peak angles corresponding to adipose tissue and carcinoma. Adequate intensity in the coherent scatter image can be achieved at a dose commonly used for screening mammography. Depth information is obtainable from the stereoscopic viewing angles. Phantom imaging measurements and Monte Carlo simulations show good agreement.",
