017 - 018 - DS - 100213 Mamo Phantom

The document describes two mammographic step wedge phantoms used to evaluate system performance under varying exposure parameters. Model 017 consists of seven tissue-simulating materials ranging from 100% glandular to 100% fat. Model 018 is made of a 50/50 glandular and adipose tissue-mimicking material that decreases in thickness over 10 steps.
