The Pro-MAM CESM is a specialty phantom from Diagnomatic designed for quality assurance of contrast-enhanced spectral (dual-energy) mammography (CESM). It allows users to assess image quality, contrast detection, and tissue differentiation with and without iodine-based contrast agent.

Key features and benefits

• Contains objects with different iodine concentrations (0.2 mg/cm³, 0.5 mg/cm³, 1.0 mg/cm³ and 2.0 mg/cm³) covering clinically relevant levels for contrast-enhanced mammography.

• Background module divided into two parts: one with 100% glandular tissue material and one with 100% adipose tissue material, which provides realistic challenge for contrast detection in varying breast parts.

• Designed for routine QC of CESM systems and subtraction images, with a focus on stability and performance.

Technical specifications

• Phantom thickness: approximately 55 mm total.

• Top layer and bottom layer: each 10 mm thick and made of adipose tissue–equivalent material.

• Middle layer: 25 mm thick, divided into 50% adipose and 50% glandular tissue-equivalent material.

• Iodine targets placed in 10 mm plate embedded in the phantom's structure.

• CE certified and designed for use in accordance with relevant mammography quality standards.

Areas of application

• Quality assurance (QA) of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) in clinical settings.

• Evaluation of contrast detection capability and performance over time in mammography systems with dual-energy acquisition.

• Documentation and reporting of image quality and system stability for accreditation programs and maintenance procedures.
