Mammography devices are one of the most important medical imaging systems used for early diagnosis of breast cancer. However, these devices need to be calibrated regularly in order to operate at the highest accuracy. Correct calibration increases the image quality of the device, reduces the possibility of misdiagnosis and prevents patients from being exposed to unnecessary radiation. As Anod, we provide technical service and maintenance services to ensure that mammography devices operate at optimum performance.
The Importance of Mammography Device Calibration
Regular calibration of mammography devices provides the following advantages:
High Resolution Images: Even the smallest abnormalities in breast tissue are clearly displayed.
Reduces the Risk of Misdiagnosis: Low resolution or faulty images can lead to misdiagnosis.
Lower Radiation Exposure: Properly calibrated devices provide quality images using lower doses of X-ray.
Extends the Life of the Device: Regular checking of the X-ray tube and other components ensures that the device operates at high performance for many years.
Mammography Device Calibration Process
Image Quality Controls
X-ray tubes, detectors and imaging panels should be tested at regular intervals to measure clarity and contrast levels.
Pixel sensitivity, gray tones and contrast ratios should be examined in detail.
Performing Dose Measurement
Mammography devices take images using low doses of X-ray. Therefore, radiation levels should be measured regularly.
As with other imaging devices such as computerized tomography, X-ray and angiography, the dose amount should be in accordance with the specified standards.
Detector Calibration
One of the most critical components of mammography systems is detectors.
Test images should be taken and quality analyses should be performed to understand whether the detectors are working properly.
Updating Image Processing Systems
Advanced software is used in mammography devices to make the images obtained clearer.
This software should also be checked during calibration and updated if necessary.
Cooling and Electrical System Maintenance
X-ray tubes should be checked regularly to prevent overheating and cooling systems should be cleaned when necessary.
Electrical connections, power supply and battery systems should be tested.
