Description

For convenience of outpatients, mammographies of outpatients are often taken after the injection of a radionuclide. In this study, we investigated the effects of gamma rays emitted by a patient onto imaging plates (IPs). We used a flat container filled with 99mTc solution as a planar source to irradiate gamma rays onto IPs. We changed irradiation times on each IP, and took radiographies of an ACR-specified 156 model phantom and AGH-D210F phantom. We evaluated radiography images, using visual evaluation, and profile curves, histograms, and CNR and RMS granularities analyses. The results indicated that the depiction ability of a fibrous part began to fall when the irradiation time exceeded 3 minutes. With an increase in irradiation time, an increase in pixel value and RMS granularity value and a decrease in CNR value were observed. In conclusion, IP exposed by gamma rays influenced the evaluation of phantom images.
