RTI’s comprehensive X-ray Testing & Quality Assurance (QA) portfolio offers specialized solutions tailored for all types of mammography systems, ensuring precision and safety in breast imaging and compliance with regulatory standards. Our tools support a wide range of needs, including mammography calibration, mammography QA tests, and spectral mammography QA, to meet the demands of both routine system checks and extensive testing during the commissioning or recommissioning of mammography equipment.
Integrated with our intuitive Ocean Next software, these tools provide a user-friendly experience for everything from routine inspections to in-depth QA programs, enabling advanced analysis and detailed record keeping. RTI’s mammography QA tools streamline workflows and enhance productivity with robust functionality for dose and equipment checks across diverse mammography systems. Features such as automatic probe identification, dedicated beam quality calibrations, and task-specific measurement settings ensure efficiency and reliability. Combined with Ocean Next software’s industry-standard workflow prompts, RTI’s mammography QA solutions deliver optimized reporting, simplified workflows, and exceptional quality assurance for mammography systems.
Go to products for MammographyClinical mammography systems typically use the 18-39 kV range for small-field or full-field digital mammography (FFDM).
Contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) is a technique that combines mammography with contrast enhancement (typically in the 40-49 kV range), to combine images for enhanced cancer detection / diagnosis.
Most modern systems can perform both 2D and 3D modes. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is an example of a 3D mode in which X-ray images are taken from multiple angles, to enhance the depth perspective.
Unlike other sensors, Mako Mammo covers entire clinical kV range from 18-49kV; no need to switch sensor above 40kV when measuring CESM. Mako Mammo has best ever kVp accuracy (±1.5% kV uncertainty), unique in the market, while also handling the latest X-ray systems on the market. The advanced detector design is capable of measuring across spectral mammo (e.g., TiCEM; Titanium contrast enhanced mammography) and tomosynthesis (3D mode), with the widest ever angular measurement range. The intuitive solution means there is no need to inform about compression paddle, simply place and measure for accurate readings.

In mammography screening, high-quality diagnostic images are required to ensure effective breast cancer detection. X-ray quality assurance plays a pivotal role in this process, ensuring that image quality is maximized for enhanced interpretation of mammograms, and that patient dose is minimized during examination.
As Full Field Digital Mammography (FFDM) is used in screening the population, patient dose for each image is a vital factor, and therefore having the right QA solution is important; that is where Mako comes in.
