Abstract:
In a method and apparatus to generate a mammographic image, the apparatus has a radiation source, a digital radiation detector, and support plate and a compression plate between which the breast is compressed during image acquisition. A first image data set depicting the breast is acquired, with a first degree of compression of the breast. A second degree of compression of the breast is set and a second image data set depicting the breast is acquired. The first and second image data sets are linked for the generation of the diagnostic image.
