MAMMOMAT Tomosynthesis - Calibration

Step one from the patient dropdown menu. Select detector calibration. Step 2. On the calibration subtest card, select Tomo synthesis for the calibration type. Click start, calibration. Step 3. Seven scans will populate into the Image Icon Gallery. The system automatically populates the manual technique. Step 4. Attached the 40 millimeter collimator mountable PMA Phantom. Step 5, Remove the compression paddle. Step 6 The first icon will automatically enable. Step 7. Press the exposure button on the control box until all 26 exposure pulses have been completed. The gantry will remain in the zero degree position. Step 8 for each exposure, click accept if the exposure is suitable. Click reject if the exposure is not suitable. If an image is rejected, a new exposure icon is automatically added. Note, as you acquire or accept an image, the number required or accepted will increase. Windowing may be required to evaluate image quality. Step 9. Repeat steps seven and eight until you have produced 7 suitable exposures. Step 10 The calibration process ends and a confirmation message window appears. Confirm by clicking yes. Step 11 When calculation is successful, another message window appears. Confirm by clicking OK. Calibration closes automatically. Step 12 record calibration complete on the appropriate QC form. Step 13 When calibration is unsuccessful, the message shown will appear. This means that nonfunctioning pixels were found during calibration, and a system check must be performed by a Seaman service technician. Depending on your system software version, you may have six or seven images to acquire.
