Image quality measurements and metrics in full field digital mammography: An overview

  • 1. Dept. of Radiology, Univ. Hospitals Gasthuisberg, Herestraat 49, B-3000 Leuven (Belgium)

Description

This paper gives an overview of test procedures developed to assess the performance of full field digital mammography systems. We make a distinction between tests of the individual components of the imaging chain and global system tests. Most tests are not yet fully standardised. Where possible, we illustrate the test methodologies on a selenium flat-panel system. (authors)
