Abstract :
The authors have developed a TDC+transputer-based acquisition system to study the X-ray imaging capabilities of a silicon μstrip detector with 100 and 200 μm read-out pitch. This system allows real-time image acquisition and display. The authors present images obtained with an X-ray mammography tube using sub-millimeter high contrast test objects on a 16*16 channels prototype
