title: Image quality measurements and metrics in full field digital mammography: an overview.
abstract: This paper gives an overview of test procedures developed to assess the performance of full field digital mammography systems. We make a distinction between tests of the individual components of the imaging chain and global system tests. Most tests are not yet fully standardised. Where possible, we illustrate the test methodologies on a selenium flat-panel system.
