Mammography Screen Designed with Reduced Noise, Improved Detector Quantum Efficiency

By Medimaging International staff writers
Posted on 10 Feb 2010


A new screen has been developed for a computed radiography (CR) mammography imaging systems that features reduced noise and higher detector quantum efficiency (DQE) for improved image quality.

The EHR-M3 screen, developed by Carestream Health, Inc. (Rochester, NY, USA), is designed to replace previous screens used with Directview CR mammography systems that are equipped with the company's Mammography Feature. The Mammography Feature is now available in Canada, Europe, South America, Australia, Asia, and other regions of the world where approved for use (not yet approved in the United States).

Upgrading to cassettes with the new screen is an easy and affordable way to improve image quality for mammography exams. The new screen offers a 20% reduction in noise, which can improve diagnostic confidence and help reduce radiologists' reading time.

This new screen is now included in the company's mammography cassettes in both 18 cm x 24 cm (8 x 10 inch) and 24 cm x 30 cm (10 x 12 inch) sizes. The new screen is compatible with thousands of existing Directview CR 850/950/975 and Directview Classic and Elite CR systems currently used for mammography applications.

Carestream Health provides a digital range of women's healthcare solutions that includes: mammography-specific modules for its radiology information system/ picture archiving and communications system (RIS/PACS) platform; a multi-modality breast imaging workstation that allows reading of all breast imaging modalities as well as general radiology exams; digital capture of mammography images and computer-aided detection (CAD) for its Directview CR systems in countries where approved for use; and high-resolution output to Dryview laser imaging systems.

Carestream Health is a worldwide provider of dental and medical imaging systems and healthcare information technology (IT) solutions; molecular imaging systems for the life-science research and drug discovery/development market segments; and X-ray film and digital X-ray products for the nondestructive testing market.
