Mammography QA Solution Full Field Digital Mammography Mammo FFDM™ Phantom Evaluate artifacts over the entire detector with a single image. • Efficiently detect objects from 0.14 to 1.0 mm • Reduce backscatter and equalize attenuation1 • Comply with EUREF 2, MQSA (FDA) and ACR guidelines • Ensure system optimization for Full Field Digital Mammography The Mammo FFDM Phantom is the new, alternative ACR accreditation phantom for quality assurance (QA) in mammography. It was developed in cooperation with Gammex, the innovators behind the Mammo 156™ Phantom—the gold standard QA solution for breast health. Simplify Testing and Save Time The Mammo FFDM Phantom is designed to evaluate artifacts over the entire detector with a single image, Mammo FFDM Phantom supporting quick detection of objects from 0.14 to 1.0 mm.* The Mammo FFDM Phantom was evaluated and accredited by the ACR, and is also referred to as the ACR Digital Mammography Phantom. The Mammo FFDM Phantom simulates radiographic characteristics of compressed breast tissue, including micro-calcifications, ductal fibrous structures and tumor-like masses. Identification of these small structures is essential to the early detection of breast cancer. Mammo 156 Phantom Our Mammo FFDM Phantom has more challenging and sensitive targets than our proven Mammo 156. And it will help decrease QC time with simplified testing and documentation. 1 http://www.fda.gov/Radiation -EmittingProducts/MammographyQualityStandard... 3/8/2016 European protocol for the quality control of the physical and technical aspects of mammography screening v2. * Based on internal testing; Applicable to most mammography systems; Best-suited for large detectors. The FDA has determined that the ACR’s quality control manual is, as required in 900.18 (a)(1): Alternative Requirements, “at least as effective in assuring quality mammography” as following the manufacturers’ QC manuals. 2 sunnuclear.com // +1 608-828-7000 Corporate Headquarters: 7600 Discovery Drive, Middleton, WI 53562 FFDM_Mammo_Phantom_072516 All data used is best available at time of publication.
