Clinical evaluation of a new set of image quality criteria for mammography.
Radiat. Prot. Dosim. 114, 389-394 (2005)
The European Commission (EC) quality criteria for screen-film mammography are used as a tool to asses image quality. A new set of criteria was developed and initially tested in a previous study. In the present study, these criteria are futher evauated using screen-film mammograms that have been digitised, manipulated to simulated different image quality level and reprinted on film. Expert radiologists have evaluated these manipulated to simulate different image quality levels and reprinted on film. Expert radiologists have evaluated these manipulated images using both the original (EC) and the new criteria. A comparison of three different simulated dose levels that the new criteria yield a larger separation of image criteria scores than the old ones. These results indicated that the new set of image quality crieteria has a higher discriminative power than the old set and thus seems to be more suitable for evaluation of image quality in mammography. © The Author 2005.
