This is more difficult to ensure as it depends on the intrinsic breast contrast, the radiographic contrast and film contrast. The operator has control over the radiographic contrast, by adjusting the kV, target material and filter material used and modern machines provide the operator with a greater range of choices. The use of modern very high contrast mammographic films may affect the optimal choice of beam quality. …
