The Ludlum ACR (American College of Radiology) accredited Mammography Full Field Phantom is designed to test the performance of a digital mammographic system by evaluating the system’s ability to image small structures similar to those found clinically: micro-calcifications, fibrous structures in ducts, and tumor-like masses. This phantom is similar to the Ludlum Mammography Accreditation Phantom (PN: 99-9983), the main difference being the size: the full field version is larger and covers the entire image detector, thus eliminating scatter.
The Mammography Full Field Accreditation Phantom will aid in monitoring the overall performance of a standard imaging system, and will assure compliance with ACR guidelines.
