What is the maximum possible score for each test object in the ACR phantom?

The maximum possible score for each test object in the American College of Radiology (ACR) mammography phantom is indeed 6. This score reflects the assessment of image quality based on specific criteria established for mammography quality assurance tests. The ACR phantom includes various test objects that evaluate different aspects of image quality, such as contrast, detail, and overall visibility of structures.

Achieving a score of 6 signifies that all required aspects of image quality have been satisfactorily met, allowing for a thorough evaluation of the mammography system’s performance. Each test object is analyzed based on established parameters, and scoring up to 6 provides a consistent metric for comparing performance across different systems and facilities. This scoring system is essential for maintaining high standards in mammography imaging and ensuring accurate detection of breast cancer.
