Technical Studies for Optimal Depiction of Milk of Calcium on Mammography

Abstract

Radiographic technology and the accuracy of mammography equipment have advanced. Diagnostic imaging systems and an awareness of breast cancer as well as the early detection of breast cancer through improvement of the diagnostic accuracy have contributed greatly to the improvement of the quality of life and survival of patients, along with the advancement of therapeutic techniques. In mammography, it is necessary to comply with the guidance on quality control and quality management of breast X-ray imaging devices. In addition, it is important to use the most suitable radiographic techniques. This study examined the difference in the depiction of Milk of Calcium based on radiographic methods and X-ray directions. In order to precisely visualize the calcification, not only the accurate visualization of the mass, it was important to choose appropriate radiographic methods and X-ray directions.
