X-ray Imaging01:24

X-ray Imaging

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with X-rays, and by 1900, X-ray was widely...
Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Background:

  • Digital mammography is crucial for breast cancer screening.
  • Establishing image quality standards is essential for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define image acquisition standards for digital mammography.
  • To support the development of an American College of Radiology (ACR) guideline on digital mammography image quality.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current knowledge on digital mammography image acquisition.
  • Collaboration between multiple professional societies (RSNA, ACR, AAPM, SCAR).

Main Results:

  • Detailed recommendations for optimizing digital mammography image acquisition.
  • Focus on enhancing the visualization of breast cancers.

Conclusions:

  • The paper contributes to establishing consensus-based image quality standards.
  • Input is sought from industry and radiologists for the final ACR guideline.
