摘要: The invention relates to an arrangement and a method in digital mammography imaging, wherein X-radiation is produced by source (2), the radiation filtered containing image information detected means of imaging sensor (5). According preferred embodiment invention, using acceleration voltage over 30 kV tungsten anode, emitted from anode (11) silver filter (13) substantially having thickness about 75 μm, based on amorphous selenium technology.
