This phantom was designed to provide a fast and easy way to test image quality on digital biopsy mammography units without having to do multiple exposures. Key features • The fast and easy way to test image quality on digital biopsy mammography units • Designed to meet ACR requirements for use in the Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Accreditation Program, but does not hold an accreditation • The phantom contains test objects that are similar to those found in the Mammographic Accreditation Phantom specified by ACR • The extended top edge of the phantom allows for easy positioning on recumbent biopsy units • Can be used in upright and prone machines • The phantom’s small size allows it to be imaged in its entirety in a single exposure when used with a digital biopsy unit - one exposure is all you need Detect imaging changes The small-sized RaySafe Pro Mam Biopsy phantom permits fast and easy evaluation of conventional and digital image quality. Image quality can be evaluated with a single exposure. Test objects comply with requirements specified in the ACR 1999 Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Quality Control Manual, the Mammographic Accreditation Phantom specified by the ACR. Regular quality control performed with the RaySafe Pro Mam Biopsy phantom allows you to detect any changes in imaging quality, enabling you to maintain the system so it remains at peak performance.

The phantom approximates a compressed breast of average glandular/adipose composition. Included in the wax insert are four aluminum-oxide (Al2O3) specks that simulate microcalcifications. Four different nylon fibers simulate fibrous structures and four different size lens-shaped masses simulate tumors. Each phantom includes a 4 mm (0.16 in.) thick, 0 10 mm (0.39 in.), 6 g (0.2 oz) acrylic contrast test disk, and a...
