I. Principles Results about imaging with silicon strips for Angiography and Mammography Introduction The system: microstrip detectors, RX64 ASICs Energy resolution and efficiency Spatial resolution Imaging results - mammography Imaging results - angiography Summary and outlook G.

Wiacek3 One-dimensional silicon array for scanning mode imaging: Good spatial resolution with reduced number of channels Spatial resolution in silicon limited by Compton scattering and parallax error, pitch smaller than about 50-100 micron not really useful Advantages of digital single photon X-ray imaging: Higher detection efficiency with respect to screen-film systems Edge-on orientation (parallel incidence) preferred for energies above 18 keV Double energy threshold with simultaneous exposure possible Easy processing, transferring and archiving of digital images Subtraction imaging: removes background structures Dual energy technique: isolates materials characterized by different energy dependence of the linear attenuation coefficient m [Alvarez and Macovski 1976] Quasi-monochromatic beams: implement dual energy techniques in a small-scale installation [see NIM A 365 (1995) 248 and Proc. SPIE Vol. 4682, p. 311 (2002)] Silicon efficiency vs. X-ray energy Front configuration 70 mm Al shield (might be reduced) 300 mm active Si Edge configuration 765 mm insensitive silicon 10 or 20 mm active Si GaAs: a better alternative ? Front configuration for GaAs, Edge configuration for Si GaAs is the best choice for 20 keV mammography Si in edge mode (10 mm) is almost equivalent to GaAs for angiography Silicon micr
