[Investigation of quality control and average glandular dose and image quality in digital mammography in Hokkaido].
A questionnaire survey about mammography in Hokkaido was mailed to 121 facilities from August to September 2009. We surveyed the conditions of digital mammography with regard to quality control (QC) and average glandular dose at 79 facilities in Hokkaido in 2009, and the results of the survey were compared with those of 2004. We found that digital mammography techniques were widely used across ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the relation between breast glandular absorbed dose and radiographic quality in mammography
Background: Breast is one of the main radiological sensitive organs, hence it is important to evaluate absorbed dose to this organ especially to the glandular parts. It is the aim of this study to measure mean glandular dose and image contrast in terms of different mammographic parameters. Materials and Methods: In this study two mammography machines located at Said-al Shohada (Giotto) ...
متن کاملConstruction of an Equivalent Chest Homogeneous Phantom for Evaluation of Image Quality in Pediatric Radiography
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to build homogeneous equivalent phantom chest in order to provide the necessary ability for checking the image quality in radiographic tests in four age groups of children in terms of the most recent age group categorization ICRP103. This phantom provides the features of weakness and discrepancies similar to body and can be consi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Influence of Exposure Index on Image Quality and Radiation Dose
Introduction: The introduction of digital radiography has led to a significant problem in terms of dose creep. To address this problem, manufacturers have established a set of exposure indicators (EI) as a feedback mechanism to safeguard against overexposure. The EI is the measure of incident exposure to the detector that is directly proportional to the signal-to-noise...
متن کاملMammographic Quality Control Using Digital Image Processing Techniques
Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality among middle aged women. Survival and recovery depend on early diagnosis. At present mammography is one of the most reliable methods for early breast cancer detection. However relevance of diagnosis is highly correlated to image quality of the mammographic system. Hence periodic controls in mammographic facilities are necessary in order to ...
