Mammo 156™ Phantom Apply the gold standard QA solution for breast health. • Measure and monitor mammography systems’ signal to noise, resolution and image quality 1 • Comply with MQSA (FDA), ACR, EUREF, IAEA & ACPSEM requirements • Simulate radiographic characteristics of compressed breast tissue • Help improve patient outcomes When the U.S. mandated mammography QA requirements via the the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA), medical physicists, the ACR and the FDA worked with Gammex to design what is known today as the Mammo 156 Phantom. The Mammo 156 Phantom helped establish the mammography repeatability and reproducibility standard. With this resource, any technologist (radiographer) on any machine can provide the same image set to help detect breast cancer. The phantom mimics breast tissue. It is a feedback mechanism that provides a framework for constant Evaluate Image Quality improvement in early detection and mortality reduction. The Mammo 156 Phantom, by design, contains test objects that are both visible on any system and difficult to see on the best mammographic systems. Imbedded objects mimic breast diseases, micro calcifications, fibrous structures and tumor masses.
