Product Details

Description
Because of the high resolution imaging capabilities of mammographic screenfilm systems (16 to 20 cycles/mm vs. a conventional system with 4 to 8 cycles/mm), a fine mesh contact tool should be used to detect areas of poor contact. The Mammography Screen-Film Contact Test Tool consists of a copper screen with 40 wires per inch, laminated in white vinyl-covered plastic (with the equivalent density of 4 cm thickness of acrylic).

Just lay the contact tool over the cassette. Move the compression device as close as possible to the x-ray tube, and make an exposure. Process the film and look for screen-film clarity across the film. Dark areas indicate poor screen-film contact.
