Mammography is the most useful test for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. The MammoPad can be used for the purpose of reducing the pain felt by the patient due to the pressure of the breast. MammoPad cushion the pressure between the breasts and the equipment and reduce the patient's discomfort. A new material pad was fabricated to solve the problem of the H-pad which is currently in circulation. Quantitative evaluation of SNR and CNR and qualitative evaluation of imitation lesion using ACR Phantom were performed. In the quantitative evaluation, SNR and CNR of Non pad and Filter pad were not statistically significant.(p>0.05) In the qualitative evaluation, Fiber and Imitation lesion of H-pad and Filter pad were statistically significant(p<0.05), and all values of Calcification and Mass were not statistically significant. (p>0.05) In addition, Fiber, calcification, mass, and imitation lesion were not statistically significant in both Non pad and Filter pad.(p>0.05) Through this study, it was confirmed that the newly created Filter pad minimizes image quality degradation and can replace existing products.
