CDMAM 4.0 & Analyser

Features

The Artinis CDMAM 4.0 is the next generation Mammography Contrast Detail Phantom with precise specifications specially designed for measuring imaging performance for digital mammography. The phantom is optimized for European Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Digital Mammography. The gold discs are placed in the area of interest of the psychometric curve for accurate determination of Contrast Detail curves and a high dose sensitivity. The phantom is created from a highly accurate production process.

The CDMAM 4.0 Phantom has been specially designed for automatic image scoring. For analysis of the phantom images, we have developed CDMAM 4.0 Analyser Software, based on CDCOM for CDMAM 4.0. With the analyser software, the threshold contrast thicknesses are determined according to the supplement to the 4th edition of the European Guidelines.
