[New development in mammographic technique: Grid mammography (author's transl)].

Reduced scatter through antiscatter grids and improved filmscreen combinations produce definite improvement in image quality with large breasts, as well as a reduction in radiation dose. The problems of soft tissue grid technique are discussed and a new apparatus for this purpose is described. New and improved recording systems, which reduce radiation dose, are analysed and a comparison is made between the quality of grid mammograms and conventional techniques using industrial film.
