Abstract
The Multiple Image Radiography (MIR) method is new imaging modality that extends the capability of conventional absorption based radiography by adding the additional contrast mechanisms of x-ray refraction and ultra-small angle scatter. In order to design a clinically based MIR system, the MIR specific x-ray properties in breast tissue must be analyzed to determine which are diagnostically useful. Developing MIR as an imaging modality also requires developing new phantoms that incorporate x-ray refraction and ultra-small angle scatter in addition to traditional x-ray absorption. Three breast cancer specimens were imaged using MIR to demonstrate its MIR specific x-ray properties. An uncompressed anthropomorphic breast phantom with an imbedded low absorption contrast acrylic sphere was imaged to provide a physical model of how the unique properties of MIR can be utilized to improve upon conventional mammography and illustrate how these can be used to design a clinically useful imaging system.
