Mammo 156™ Phantom

Image

The Gold Standard QA solution for breast health measures and monitors mammography systems' signal to noise, resolution and image quality. Required standard for image quality evaluation. ACR-accredited, and backed by Sun Nuclear’s thirty-plus years of servicing the mammography QA industry. Simulates radiographic characteristics of 4.2 cm compressed breast tissue. The phantom mimics breast tissue. It provides a framework for constant improvement in early detection and mortality reduction. Included are a QC certification and user guide. This product includes a 5-year warranty.

Mammo FFDM Phantom

Image

Evaluate artifacts over the entire detector with a single image. Measures and monitors FFDM systems' signal to noise, resolution and image quality. Simulates radiographic characteristics of compressed breast tissue. Eliminates backscatter and provides quick detection of objects from 0.14 to 1.0 mm. This product includes a 5-year warranty.

Modular DBT Phantom with Image Quality Module

Image

Configuration includes the Image Quality module. Test 3D Tomosynthesis and 2D Mammography system performance. Routine and Daily QC. Flexible design ensures efficiency. Easily move test objects closer to or further from the beam. Includes 6 modules standard. Add modules as protocols develop. Hammerstein breast elemental composition. Uniform modules of Breast and Breast-Glandular tissue mimicking materials are optional. A wheeled case is included. This product includes a 5-year warranty.

Digital Breast Compression QC Device


Image

Measure compression force of standard and prone mammography systems with the digital compression scale.  Select units of force displayed in either lbs or kgs.  Portable and battery operated, the scale includes a compressible foam block for flat and curved paddles.  Product includes a 1-year warranty.

Mammo CESM™ Phantom

Image

The Contrast Enhanced Spectral Mammography (CESM) Phantom is modular, composed of two types of step blocks: a Breast with Iodine contrast block, and Adipose-Glandular density blocks. Its modularity allows combinations of blocks to be arranged to represent the compressed breast for small to large patients.  This lets users benchmark iodine mapping for a wide array of clinically relevant cases and independently verify them over time.  Product includes a hard case and a 5-year warranty.

Mammo 156 Stereo™ Phantom

Image

Maintain stereotactic biopsy system quality and compliance. Comply with MQSA (FDA) and ACR requirements. ACR-accredited, and backed by Sun Nuclear’s thirty-plus years of servicing the mammography QA industry. The phantom mimics compressed breast tissue. Imbedded objects mimic breast diseases, micro-calcifications, fibrous structures and tumor masses. This product includes a 5-year warranty.

Routine Digital Mammography QC Kit


Image

Ensure your digital mammography images contain complete, detailed information for the delivered dose. Combine proven, high quality phantoms and tools with reproducible quality control techniques to detect changes and subtle degradation in image quality. Perform the following tests: ACR Image quality, Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) reproducibility, Timer accuracy, Half value layer, Focal spot size, Beam/Collimator/Light Field alignment, Artifact ID, and Compression. Includes custom case and 5-year warranty.
