AAPM tutorial. Physics of mammography: image recording process.
The many physical factors that influence image processing and image quality in mammography are reviewed in this tutorial. The physics principles that are at work in the function of screen-film mammographic image receptors are discussed in detail. The author reviews methods of quality control for screen-film mammography and the principles for xeromammography and magnification mammography.
