抄録

We noted that breast-like artifacts occur in photo-stimulable phosphor plates (PSPs) used for long periods in digital mammography systems. This prompted us to investigate the effects on mammography diagnoses of these artifacts. Our study took the form of a comparison between the images generated by a long-term use PSP (four years use) and a short-term use PSP. First, an acrylic phantom and an in-house-made phantom for visual evaluation were imaged using X-ray PSPs under the same exposure conditions. They were then scanned under the same conditions to generate images. The mean values of the digital signals were measured in the 35 locations of region of interest present in the images of the acrylic phantom. The images of the in-house-made phantom were then visually evaluated by five certified experts, who examined 22 clinical images taken with both PSPs while referring to a visual evaluation scale. Differences were detected in all the evaluated items: the short-term use PSP gave a higher rate than the long-term use PSP (p<0.01), suggesting that long-term use PSPs might adversely affect the results of diagnostic mammography.
