The presented work deals with the question, whether phase-contrast mammography can address the shortcomings of routine breast screening. Therefore, a compact phase-contrast mammography setup was specifically designed within a laboratory environment, where the retrieval of full-field mammograms is practicable. By means of a case study, we demonstrate that phase-contrast mammography in comparison to standard examination provides a significantly enhanced detection quality of tumor strands, lesion borders and small nodules.
