STARLIGHT is a mammography machine in development at Imagine Scientific that uses X-rays of a single, selectable energy. It is meant to show tumours in dense breasts with a lower radiation dose and without painful compression.
STARLIGHT is the monochromatic X-ray source of Imagine Scientific, described in NCI SBIR Phase II grant 5R44CA302210-02 as offering a range of selectable monochromatic energies with short exposure times, applied first as an X-ray source for mammography. The award abstract claims better detection of tumours, including in thick and dense breasts, a lower radiation dose and no breast compression; these are the developer's claims for an instrument not yet on the market.
A high-power X-ray source that produces selectable single-energy (monochromatic) X-rays for diagnostic imaging, applied first to mammography, according to its NCI award abstract.
