Pro-MAM Gold MK II Contrast Detail Phantom

The upgraded Pro-MAM Gold MK II Contrast Detail Phantom may be used to determine if mammographic images indicate objects with very low contrast and very small diameter, to find out the optimum exposure technique, or to compare image quality at various object thicknesses by variation of the amount of PMMA thickness.

Product highlights:

• Unmatched accuracy – up to 30 times better than other products on the market
• Gold disc objects positioned at depth suggested by EUREF
• Smallest objects are positioned in the middle of the phantom where sensitivity of the x-ray device is the best
• Discs are grouped into five sections relative to the EUREF limiting diameters values (2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.25 and 1.0mm)
• Disc thickness are optimized to result in contrast details curves for each diameter to correspond perfectly with EUREF limiting values
• No materials other than PMMA are used, so there is no need to calculate PMMA-equivalent attenuation for other materials such as aluminium
• For full-field analog and digital units
• Pro-Control software provides automatic and semi-automatic analysis of the phantom’s images, providing all the necessary information like Contrast-Details curve, making quality assurance simple and quick

The Pro-MAM Gold mk II is compatible with Pro-Control.online, a Web service that makes it possible to easily organize and control the quality of any number of diagnostic devices when using PRO Diagnostic Test Tools. It offers the flexibility of a cloud service and great potential and complex functionality of the desktop application based on a universal medical images browser. The entire platform supports DICOM protocol that allows seamless integration with the hospital IT system making the data transfer safe and easy. It can be used by small dental practices to large university medical centers. If many people are responsible for running tests in an organization, their separate accounts can be combined making it possible to get an insight into how the organization is running from one place.
