Breast cancer screening is a well-established method for reducing mortality in women, because cancers can be detected at an early stage while they are still easy to treat. However, low radiation dose to the breast is important when screening, since healthy women are exposed. Numerous studies comparing full-field digital mammography (FFDM) with screen-film mammography (SFM) and computed radiography (CR) plates have been performed and show the clinical advantage and dose reduction capabilities of FFDM systems.

The next big advancement in cardiac imaging is likely to be computed tomography (CT) perfusion imaging. This enables one commonly available modality to image both the detailed anatomy and function of the heart at the same time. The impact on medicine could reduce healthcare costs by eliminating some hospital stays, cutting the number of tests and speeding patient diagnosis.
