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.
