  • Descrição: Following procedures used to simulate the image sharpness along the radiation field based on X-rays geometric exposure developed in previous work, here we describe another computer simulation procedure intended to evaluate the influence of any recording system as radiographic film or screen-film combinations, on the image sharpness in mammography. In this current work we take into account the parameters from the recording system besides the radiation projection from the focal spot in order to yield a simulated image on the computer screen relative to the expected image to be obtained in actual conditions with a singular recording system for a singular mammography equipment. The focal spot sizes in all field locations, as well as the respectives intensity distributions, the sensitometric curve for a radiographic film or for a screen-film combination, and also the screen intensifying factor, conversion efficiency, absorption factor and emission spectrum were used as input parameters for the simulation. Simulated images were compared to those obtained with actual mammographic equipment, by using a resolution phantom, and both types of images were in good agreement. The main advantage of this procedure will be the possibility of predicting the image sharpness characteristics for any mammography equipment with any type of recording system without exposure tests.
