Abstract
Disclosed are a mammography system and a mammography imaging method that can prevent a subject from being exposed to radiation more than necessary by setting an optimum imaging condition according to a thickness of a subject's breast, and can obtain a high-quality medical image by setting an optimum FOV and correcting projection data according to the thickness of the breast. The mammography system includes: a mammography imaging device including a detector and an X-ray tube, and obtaining X-ray image data of a subject's breast from multiple angles; a thickness obtaining unit obtaining information on a thickness of the breast; and a rotation angle calculator calculating a rotation angle range of the X-ray tube, based on the information of the thickness of the breast, wherein the mammography imaging device obtains the X-ray image data from multiple angles by performing radiography while rotating the X-ray tube within the rotation angle range.
