Mammography is one of the most widely used imaging methods for early diagnosis of breast diseases. However, in order to make accurate and reliable diagnoses, the mammography device used must undergo regular quality tests. Anod offers expert solutions on quality tests to increase the performance of mammography devices and provide the best imaging quality.
The Importance of Quality Tests in Mammography Devices
A mammography device images breast tissue using low-dose X-ray. A poor-quality or incorrectly calibrated device can both reduce image accuracy and cause unnecessary radiation exposure. Quality tests determine whether the device is suitable for both patient safety and diagnostic accuracy.
Quality Tests Applied to Mammography Devices
Certain tests must be applied regularly to ensure the quality and reliability of mammography devices:
Image Quality Tests:
The sharpness and contrast level of the captured mammography images are evaluated.
Gray tones and detail perception tests are performed.
Radiation Dose Measurements:
In order to ensure patient safety, it is checked whether the X-ray dose is within the specified limits.
Device calibration is performed to prevent high radiation levels.
Geometric Resolution Tests:
It is measured whether the device can image the breast tissue with sufficient resolution.
It ensures that even small masses are clearly detected.
Contrast Resolution Test:
It ensures that even low-contrast lesions are imaged correctly.
It analyzes whether color and density differences are displayed correctly.
Detector and Sensor Controls:
The operating status of the detectors and sensors in the mammography device is tested.
Error rates that may occur during imaging are reduced to a minimum level.
Advantages of Mammography Device Quality Tests
Quality tests provide many advantages in terms of both patient safety and diagnostic accuracy:
More Accurate Diagnosis: More accurate results are obtained with calibrated devices.
Reducing Radiation Exposure: Unnecessary X-ray dose exposure is prevented.
Long-Life Device Use: Thanks to regular maintenance and tests, the mammography device works efficiently for a longer period of time.
Compliance with Health Standards: Compliance with international standards set for health institutions is ensured.
