We previously reported on the development, design, and clinical evaluation of a CCD-based, high performance, filmless imaging system for stereotactic needle biopsy procedures in mammography. The MammoVision system has a limited imaging area of 50 mm X 50 mm, since it is designed specifically for breast biopsy applications. We are currently developing a new filmless imaging system designed to cover the 18 cm X 24 cm imaging area required for screening and diagnostic mammography. The diagnostic mammography system is based on four 1100 X 330 pixel format, full-frame, scientific grade, front illuminated, MPP mode CCDs, with 24 micrometers X 24 micrometers square pixels Each CCD is coupled to an x-ray intensifying screen via a 1.7:1 fiber optic reducer. The detector assembly (180 mm long and 13.5 mm wide) is scanned across the patient's breast synchronously with the x-ray source, with the CCDs operated in time-delay integration (TDI) mode. The total scan time is 4.0 seconds.
