Abstract
A breast phantom is provided that has a non-uniform thickness to mimic clinically realistic variations in compressed breast thicknesses when in contact with the compression paddle during a mammography imaging procedure. With the non-uniform thickness, the breast phantom enables a mammography imaging device to be tested for image quality with regard to image correction processes and/or algorithms employed by the mammography imaging device to address non-uniformity in the thickness of the imaged breast. The breast phantom can be made of one or more sections, with one or more of the sections having a non-uniform thickness.
