Digital Mammography Machine X-Ray for Breasts Disease Diagno

Mammography images are created by the process of x-rays passing through breast tissue and interacting with a digital detector. The anode in the x-ray tube used for mammography is made of molybdenum, or rhodium, rather than tungsten which is commonly used in general x-ray tubes. For more information about x-ray formation see the previous section (X-rays).
