Product catalog summary
Overview
The Modular DBT Phantom by Gammex is designed to assess the performance of mammography and tomosynthesis systems in detecting pre-cancerous and cancerous lesions. It features a flexible design with targets placed within tissue-equivalent materials, suitable for various system tests.

Key Features
  • Supports both angular range and step-and-shoot technologies.
  • Facilitates acceptance testing, daily, and routine quality control (QC).
  • Modules can be easily inserted or removed without tools.
  • Aligns automatically to the chest wall for reproducible tests.
  • Minimizes image artifacts and ghosting.

Testing Capabilities
  • Thorough testing of tomosynthesis system stability and lesion detectability.
  • Evaluation of image quality and target quantification in reconstructed images.
  • Compliance with protocols such as EUREF and AAPM Task Group 245.

Specifications
  • Includes six standard modules: Aluminum Alloy, Tungsten Wires, BBs, Barium Grooves, and Rounded Edge.
  • Optional modules available for glandular and adipose breast simulations.
  • Modules are epoxy resin-based with dimensions of 180 mm x 100 mm.

Applications
  • Configurable for physicists, technologists, and researchers.
  • Simulates compressed breast sizes from 2.5 cm to 10 cm.
  • Tests include system projection MTF, image quality, artifact evaluation, and more.

Additional Information
  • Backed by a 5-year warranty.
  • Comes with a detailed user guide and a waterproof carrying case.

Modular DBT™ Phantom-1

Mammography QA Solution Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Modular DBT™ Phantom Revolutionize 3D breast imaging QC. • Thoroughly test Tomosynthesis system stability and lesion detectability • Evaluate image quality and quantify targets in reconstructed planar images • Comply with developing protocols, including EUREF¹ and AAPM Task Group 245 The Modular DBT Phantom by Gammex was developed in collaboration with medical physicists to assess system performance in detectability of precancerous and cancerous lesions. A range of simple to complex targets are precisely placed within tissueequivalent breast, adipose and glandular materials. 2 This uniquely flexible phantom design helps ensure efficiency across systems and test types. It can be used to evaluate Mammography and Tomosynthesis systems. Save time and simplify Tomosynthesis QC Whether your system uses angular range or step and shoot technology, the Modular DBT Phantom can support your needs. The phantom is designed for acceptance testing, daily and routine QC. • Easily insert or remove modules without tools to match your QC protocol • Automatically align to the chest wall for reproducible tests Tomosynthesis reconstruction showing BBs aligned in the x, y, and z-axis in a 4.5 cm stack; may be used for 2D and 3D accuracy. • Minimize image artifacts and ghosting EUREF (European Reference Organization for Quality Assured Breast Screening and Diagnostic Services) Protocol version 1.01 for the Quality Control of the Physical and Technical Aspects of Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Systems. 2 Hammerstein R., Miller D., White D., et al; Absorbed Dose in Mammography; RADIOL­ GY;130:485-491.
