고정형 그리드(stationary grid)에서 그리드 아티팩트(grid artifacts)와 모아레 아티팩트($moir{\acute{e}}$ pattern artifacts)로 인한 영상의 질의 저하와 이동형 그리드(moving grid)에서의 컷 오프 아티팩트(cut off artifacts)로 인한 영상의 질의 저하를 정량적으로 비교 평가하였다. CDRAD 팬텀(Phantom)과 두께 24 cm의 acryl Phantom을 촬영조건(X-ray exposure conditions)을 100 cm, 80 kVp, 30 mA로 하여 고정형 그리드와 이동형그리드에서 영상(X-ray imaging)을 획득하였다. CDRAD Analyser을 이용한 영상(X-ray imaging) 인식률(observer's perception)은 고정그리드에서 평균(mean) 49.36, 표준편차(standard deviation) 3.76, 최대값(max) 55.56, 최소값 38.67이었고 이동형그리드에서 평균 47.04, 편차 12.69, 최대값 55.56, 최소값 20.89이었다. 이동형 그리드보다 고정형 그리드가 인식률의 평균과 표준편차에서 더 우수하게 나타났다.

Quantitative analysis was performed to confirm that moire artifact was removed without loss of image when using grid suppression software in the diagnosis of micro lesions. we showed that grid suppression images can be morphologically different from original images as they are significantly lower than those of the optimized grid in the similarity analysis with reference images in mammographic phantom images. We were confirmed that images of microcalcification with smaller signal than noise were lost because the pixel values of all lesions increased significantly after the grid suppression, The change in contrast using the NORMI 13 X-ray test phantom was reduced to 30% of the reference image, This result was significantly lower than the 90% when using the optimized grid. In conclusion, the use of grid suppression software in clinical images should be carefully considered because of the possibility of misdiagnosis due to micro lesion loss and morphological changes.
