Abstract
In some embodiments, an X-ray system comprises a work-station and a mammography apparatus. The mammography apparatus can comprise: a breast positioning area; an absorption contrast imaging apparatus; and a diffractometer for analyzing structure of tissue within a breast. The absorption contrast imaging apparatus and the diffractometer can be configured to move in order to interchangeably align with the breast positioning area. The work-station can be configured to control the mammography apparatus, and to process data received from the mammography apparatus. In some embodiments, a method of controlling an X-ray system comprises: measuring the denseness of the breast tissue using an absorption contrast imaging apparatus; processing the absorption contrast imaging measurement results using the work-station to determine coordinates of potential cancer sites; performing measurements at the coordinates of the potential cancer sites using the diffractometer; and processing the diffractometer measurement results to perform diagnostics.
