Does the advanced mammography have the ability to change the type of the used filter according to the type of the breast density (dense or non-dense) in one machine today? Can this property available in one machine instead using many machines for each filter?
I mean dense breast that is highly composed of milk glands and ducts, & supportive tissues rather than fatty tissues.
Dear Balsam Sofi,
I suggest you to see links and attached files on topic.

Mohamed-Mourad Lafifi Thank you for theses attached links.
But I have already an idea about the breast types according its density in the imaging. I need to know about the mammography machine, specially about the filters used in it. The most common combination of target/filter used are Mo/Mo, Rh/Rh, Mo/Rh, & W/Rr. Here is my point, we know that is every machine has its own target/filter. Today, is there new advanced mammography machine that have multiple target/filter compilations? Just we can choose from the system the desired target/filter type to use it in imaging? Do we have these types of machine today?
