DMAM2 & DMAM2+ - Leeds Test Objects
DMAM2 & DMAM2+ - Leeds Test Objects
DMAM2 is a set mammography phantoms for digital mammography systems, designed to be used quickly and easily on a regular basis to provide an ongoing check of imaging performance, particularly those aspects which are most liable to deterioration. An ongoing record of the results of these checks will reveal any trend towards deterioration in imaging performance.
DMAM2 contains the following:
- DMAM2 Plus contains our tomosynthesis Z-resolution plate in addition to the following:
