Abstract
Mammographic phantom images are usually used to study the quality of images obtained by dedicated mammographic equipment. The digital image treatment techniques allow us to carry out an automatic analysis of the phantom image. In this work, some techniques of digital image processing are applied to compute a specific image quality index (IQI) for a mammographic phantom, namely CIRS model 11A version SP01. The algorithm designed analyses the phantom image by means of automatic detection of the number of microcalcifications, and the image resolution as the number of line pairs per millimetre. Then, the IQI is calculated from a scoring system. The manner in which the functioning conditions (kV and mAs) of the mammographic equipment and the preprocessing denoising method of the digital image affect the results for the IQI are also studied.
