ABSTRACT:
A mammography method images breast tissue with an end window X-ray transmission tube to detect the presence of neovascular micro-vessels as defining vascular structure associated with a suspect tumorous mass. A kit therefor has a high-efficiency, end window X-ray transmission tube and a supply of a contrast agent.
