Medical physicists and engineers, working with radiologists and technologists, have made significant contributions in the design of mammographic x-ray units and image receptors, as well as in the development of methods for evaluating mammographic image quality and procedures for quality control. More accurate methods of measuring radiation exposure in the energy range of mammography and more relevant calculations of radiation dose to breast tissue at risk have also been realized. This article will discuss some of the major contributions made by medical physicists for the benefit of mammography. Contributions of radiologists in mammography have been published elsewhere [Bassett, Gold, and Kimme-Smith (1994)]. All contributions cited in this article are based on referenced publications and citations in the following: Medical Physics; Radiology; NCRP Report No. 85; Quality Determinants in Mammography; AAPM Report No. 29; Reduced Dose Mammography, W. W. Logan and E. P. Muntz (editors); RSNA Categorical Course: Technical Aspects of Breast Imaging, A. Haus and M. Yaffe (editors); Film Processing in Medical Imaging, A. G. Haus (editor); Screen-Film Mammography: Imaging Considerations in Medical Physics, G. T. Barnes and G. Donald Frey (editors). The article is divided into six sections: (1) x-ray equipment and receptor development, (2) image quality, (3) radiation dose, (4) phantoms, (5) quality assurance, (6) digital mammography, and (7) reports and committees.
医学物理学家和工程师与放射科医生及技术专家合作，在乳腺X线摄影设备和图像接收器的设计，以及乳腺X线摄影图像质量评估方法和质量控制程序的开发方面做出了重大贡献。在乳腺摄影能量范围内测量辐射暴露的更准确方法，以及对有风险的乳腺组织辐射剂量的更相关计算也已实现。本文将讨论医学物理学家为乳腺摄影的发展所做出的一些主要贡献。放射科医生在乳腺摄影方面的贡献已在其他地方发表[巴塞特、戈尔德和金梅 - 史密斯（1994年）]。本文引用的所有贡献均基于以下参考文献中的出版物和引用：《医学物理》；《放射学》；《NCRP报告第85号》；《乳腺摄影中的质量决定因素》；《AAPM报告第29号》；《低剂量乳腺摄影》，W.W.洛根和E.P.芒茨（编辑）；《RSNA分类课程：乳腺成像的技术方面》，A.豪斯和M.亚菲（编辑）；《医学成像中的胶片处理》，A.G.豪斯（编辑）；《屏 - 片乳腺摄影：医学物理中的成像考量》，G.T.巴恩斯和G.唐纳德·弗雷（编辑）。本文分为六个部分：（1）X射线设备和接收器的发展，（2）图像质量，（3）辐射剂量，（4）模体，（5）质量保证，（6）数字乳腺摄影，以及（7）报告和委员会。
