Abstract
Anthropomorphic radiological phantoms are useful in evaluating image q uality in mammography by providing realistic detection tasks to the ob server. Methods for creating such phantoms, based on original patient mammograms, are described. Photochemical enhancement techniques and ap plication of fractal interpolation methods for improving the fine deta il information contained in such phantoms are discussed. Approaches to incorporating additional calibrated test targets within the phantom a re also described.
