Abstract
The image quality of mammogram has improved over the past 2 decades as a result of the development of specially designed mammography unit. For mammography to achieve high sensitivity and specificity, all aspects of the imaging process must be optimized. This paper describes the recent development in breast imaging technologies, including design of the x-ray equipment (traget and filtration materials), detector (screen-film system), and processing used for mammography. The methods for acceptance testing and quality control on mammography have been also reported.
