X-ray Mammography Scanner

MS-R600 X-ray Mammography Scanner

MS-R600 mammography System is mainly used to acquire X-ray images of
human breasts for clinical diagnosis. It is a film-based mammography
system and proves to be an effective solution for breast diseases.

MS-R600 mammography system consists of the main body unit and the
control console (see the picture of the system), including the key
components of dual-focus X-ray tube, collimator, rotating anode
starter and protection system, high-frequency and high voltage
generator (frequency: 40KHz), tube filament heating system, breast
compression device, supporting arm and other mechanical and electric
devices.

X-ray tube is one of the major components which decide the breast
image quality. MS-R600 system uses a high power rotating anode of
dual-focus tube with Mo target and Be window (bias dual-focus:
0.1mm/0.3mm) to ensure the clear images. The carbon-based bucky
features high transmission rate, and high efficiency in blocking the
scattered X-ray, which is also helpful for improving image quality.
The automatic exposure control system is highly sensitive and quickly
reactive, so the exposure is automatically adjusted according to the
factures of age and thickness etc

High standard and high resolution image
The test results of CIRS phantom are as follows:
Spatial resolution: 20Lp/mm
Density resolution: 1.19mm
Min. Calcification resolution: 130um

The breast compression device is automatically controlled with three
speeds. The ascending speed is high to reduce operation time. The
descending speed is 1/2 of the ascending speed to prepare for pressing
the breast. After getting in touch with the breast, it will
automatically decrease its speed and impose pressure. This way the
patient feels more comfortable. When the pressure reaches the preset
level, it will automatically stop and the actual breast thickness and
pressure will be displayed. If the pressing conditions are not proper,
the operator may change it on the way until desired conditions are
available.
