More About This Product
Mammographic Accreditation Phantom meets MQSA requirements for testing the performance of mammography systems. Performs a quantitative evaluation of the system’s ability to image small structures similar to those found clinically. Objects within the phantom simulate calcifications, fibrous calcifications in ducts, and tumor masses. Determines if your mammography system can detect small structures that are important in the early detection of breast cancer. Test objects within the phantom range in size from those that should be visible on any system to objects that will be difficult to see even on the best mammography systems.
Made of a 7-mm thick wax block insert containing 16 sets of test objects, a 3.4-cm (approx. 1-3/8") thick acrylic base, and a 3-mm (1/8") thick cover. Approximates a 4.2-cm compressed breast of average glandular/adipose composition. Included in the wax insert are aluminum oxide specks to simulate micro-calcifications. Six different size nylon fibers simulate fibrous structures and five different size, lens-shaped masses simulate tumors. Includes a 4 mm acrylic contrast target, Magnifier, Faxitron image of wax insert, and User Guide. Acrylic. 10.15 cm W x 10.8 cm L x 4.4 cm D.
