18 Order of Testing Artifact Evaluation Phantom Image Quality Evaluation SNR and CNR Measurements AEC Function Performance Other Tests

19 Artifact Evaluation Evaluation of detector, x-ray tube, filter etc 4 cm thick acrylic block No compression paddle Four flat field images Mo/Mo, contact mode, LFS with grid Mo/Rh, contact mode, LFS with grid Mo/Mo, mag mode, SFS without grid Mo/Rh, mag mode, SFS without grid Review the images on acquisition workstation monitor Window width = 500, Level = 350

20 Artifact Evaluation

21 Artifact Evaluation

22 Evaluation of Printer Artifact Evaluation Select a computer-generated flat-field image Print the image and evaluate it Repeat the test for each printer If a printer is connected to multiple Selenia systems, it only needs to be tested once from one Selenia.

23 Artifact Evaluation

24 Phantom Image Quality Evaluation ACR phantom with acrylic disc AEC position 2 Print film Measure film densities - Background density > 1.20, with control limit ± Density difference over the acrylic disk > 0.40, with control limit ± 0.05 Phantom scoring (hard copy and softcopy station) 5 fibers, 4 speck groups, 4 masses

25 Phantom Image Quality Evaluation

26 SNR and CNR Measurements

27 SNR and CNR Measurements SNR 40 Establish the reference CNR value during the acceptance test CNR should stay within ±15% of the reference

28 Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) AEC modes Auto-Filter: Auto-kV: Auto-Time: filter, kvp, mas all automatically determined filter manually selected kvp and mas automatically determined filter and kvp manual selected mas automatically determined AEC Method - Filter and kvp are determined by breast thickness (in Auto- Filter and Auto-kV modes) - A pre-exposure is used to determine mas AEC positions Auto-AEC (The densest tissue gets enough exposure) Seven manual positions (marked on compression paddle)

29 AEC Function Performance 1. Performance at different thickness and imaging modes 2. Performance at different compensation levels

30 AEC Function Performance 1. Performance at different thickness and imaging modes Acrylic or BR-12 blocks AEC position 2 Contact mode (LFS, grid): 2, 4, 6, 8 cm phantom Mag mode (SFS, no grid): 4 cm phantom Variation of target pixel values 10% of the mean target pixel value

31 AEC Function Performance

32 AEC Function Performance 2. Performance at different compensation levels 4 cm acrylic or BR-12 Compensation levels: Step -5 to Step +5 Use average target count at Step 0 as reference Compare target count at other steps to the reference Step Step Step Step Step Step Step Step Step Step

33 Collimation Assessment 1. X-Ray Field to Light Field 2. X-Ray Field to Image Receptor 3. Compression Paddle to Image Receptor

34 Collimation Assessment One test for cm imaging mode Three tests for cm imaging modes Left imaging position Center imaging position Right imaging position L M R

35 Collimation Assessment Use coin method as described in ACR manual

36 Collimation Assessment 1. X-Ray Field to Light Field Measure deviations between the edges of the light field (exterior edge of the coin) and the x- ray field at al four sides Sum of the magnitude of deviations on opposite sides 2% of the SID SID = 66 cm 2% of the SID = 1.32 cm

37 Collimation Assessment 2. X-Ray Field to Image Receptor d 1 : measured on film distance from the inner edge of the coin to the edge of the x-ray field d 2 : measured on digital image distance from the inner edge of the coin to the edge of the detector (d ) - d 2 The x-ray field shall extend beyond the chest wall side of the image receptor The x-ray field must NOT extend >2% of the SID at any of the four sides of the image receptor

38 Collimation Assessment 3. Compression Paddle to Image Receptor Measure distance from the outer edge of the coin to the edge of the image The anterior edge of the compression paddle must be aligned just beyond the chest wall edge of the image receptor, but 1% of the SID

39 Collimation Assessment

40 Collimation Assessment

41 Collimation Assessment

42 Evaluation of System Resolution Line pair phantom 4 cm acrylic block Line pair phantom placed at 45º to the detector row

43 Evaluation of System Resolution Limiting spatial resolution 7 c/mm (lp/mm)

44 Detector Ghosting (Optional) 1. Create ghosting effect 2. Quantify ghosting effect

45 Detector Ghosting (Optional) 1. Create ghosting effect Ghosting area

46 Detector Ghosting (Optional) 2. Quantify ghosting effect Ghosting area

47 Detector Ghosting (Optional) 2. Quantify ghosting effect Ghosting factor 0.3 ROI 1 in background without ghosting Ghosting Factor = ROI 2 in Al filter without ghosting mean region2 -mean region3 mean region1 -mean region2 ROI 3 in Al filter with ghosting
