| Popis: | Objective: This study aimed to develop an in-house breast phantom, and assess students’ knowledge and satisfaction after using it for mammographic positioning training. Material and Methods: The breast phantom was designed in a half-body shape, and constructed primarily using gelcoat resin, polyurethane foam, and thermoreversible gel. Additionally, silicone type RA-210, known for its high flexibility, tensile strength, elongation at break (620%), and ability to revert to its original shape, was incorporated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the breast phantom utility in improving students’ knowledge through a nine-item questionnaire; employing a one-group pre-post design. The participants, consisting of 63 Radiologic Technology students, whom rated their satisfaction with the phantom for training purposes using a five-point Likert scale. Results: The mean knowledge score for the breast phantom positioning significantly improved from 5.35±1.61 points (pretest) to 7.32±1.20 points (post-test), following training (p-value |
