Randomized, Controlled Trials (RCT), the most rigorous tests of efficacy, had proven that mammography screening reduces deaths by early detection. This had been validated in studies that showed that screening in the community also resulted in fewer deaths. Film mammography (FM) had been replaced by Xeroradiography (XM) which had been replaced by Screen/Film Mammography (SFM) which was being replaced by Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM).

This review traces the development of mammography physics over the last 50 years, concentrating mainly on technological changes and their inter-relations. It has been written for physicists with no specific mammography experience but a general interest in radiology, as much as for those with recent involvement in mammography. Topics covered include industrial film, xerography, intensifying screens, x-ray tube developments, image quality test objects, patient dose and performance checks.

We investigated temporal performance of amorphous selenium (a-Se) detectors specifically designed for mammographic imaging. Our goal is to quantify the inherent lag and ghosting of a-Se photoconductor as a function of imaging conditions. Two small area electroded a-Se samples, one positively and the other negatively biased on the entrance side of x rays, were used in the experiments.
