Overview
The mammography accreditation phantom is designed to test the overall performance of a mammography system and its ability to image small clinically relevant structures: microcalcifications, fibers and simulated masses. It reproduces a compressed breast 42 mm thick, composed of materials equivalent to 50% glandular tissue and 50% adipose tissue.
