Abstract
The SYRMEP Collaboration (SYnchrotron Radiation for MEdical Physics), is conducting a research project in digital mammography and plans to u se a monochromatic X-ray beam provided by Elettra, the synchrotron rad iation facility in operation in Trieste (Italy), in conjunction With a novel silicon pixel detector. A set of silicon strip detectors was ar ranged to form a matrix of pixels. This prototype with a sensitive are a of 24 X 1 mm(2) (i.e. 2 X 48 pixels of 0.5 X 0.5 mm(2)) has been use d to produce images with X-rays.
