1Department of Biomedical Engineering, Guangdong General Hospital of Armed Police, Guangzhou 510507, China.
Objective:
To improve the performance quality of mammography X-ray system, and to decrease misdiagnoses.
Methods:
Quality assurance was tested and controlled from such aspect as measurement of half value layer, beam quality assessment, breast entrance exposure average glandular dose, tube tunsion accuracy and reproducibility, and radiation output.
Results:
The image contrast, mistiness and noise were optimized.
Conclusion:
With the quality assurance of the digital mammography X-ray system, the variations of the performance parameters remain in the range of permission, thus improving the quality of mammography.

Computed Tomography
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...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
