CDMAM 3.4 & Analyser

Features

The CDMAM 3.4 is the quality control phantom for evaluation of imaging performance of analog and digital mammography system. The CDMAM 3.4 phantom is considered to be the world gold standard and is described in the European Protocol for quality assurance in Digital Mammography and other protocols for routine and acceptance testing. In mammography it is essential that objects with very small contrast and diameter can be distinguished. The quality of the technical aspects of the mammography equipment should be monitored at regular time-intervals. The CDMAM 3.4 and its image analysis software are specially designed for this task.

Applications

• Optimization and evaluation of digital and analog mammography systems

• Determination of the optimum exposure technique comparison of image quality at various thicknesses of PMMA
