The Pro-MAM BR is a quality assurance phantom from Diagnomatic, designed specifically to evaluate the performance of automated exposure control (AEC) in mammography systems. It is engineered to simulate breast tissue with high accuracy and is frequently used in accordance with requirements of the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Food and Drug Administration's Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA).

Key features and benefits

• Phantom plates with two tissue equivalents (glandular and adipose) mixed in proportions such as 50/50, 30/70 or 70/30 to provide realistic simulation of breast tissue.

• Manufactured from materials with very tight thickness tolerances, providing high precision in AEC assessments.

• Designed for easy and repeatable use in testing procedures for AEC systems in mammography equipment – supporting technical QC programs and documentation requirements.

• CE certified and compliant with the IEC 61223‑3‑2 standard, which is important for European quality control in mammography.

Technical specifications

• Dimensions (standard): 120 × 120 mm.

• Thickness options: 2 mm and 20 mm; other thicknesses available upon request.

• Tissue composition: Examples include 50% glandular / 50% adipose material, and variants 30/70 or 70/30 for several background scenarios.

Areas of application

• Evaluation and documentation of AEC performance in mammography equipment.

• Technical quality control (QC) and maintenance in mammography departments.

• Preparation for accreditation or certification of mammography systems according to ACR or MQSA standards.
