Abstract
The work presented here was carried out in order to investigate the diagnostic merit which arises from phase- and scatter-sensitive mammography, and to answer the question whether phase-contrast mammography is a suitable candidate as a future screening modality.
There can be life after breast cancer. The prerequisite is early detection.
