The Gammex 179 Artifact Identification Phantom is a full field device that allows for a grey film to be produced when the phantom is imaged.  This will indicate any artifacts that may be caused by a mammographic system's grid or filters.
Benefits

• Use to verify that the film processor is working correctly
• Use as a QA check tool to verify that your mammographic system is working smoothly on all levels
• Economical
• Size 3.8 x 30 x 24cm  or 1.5x  11.8 x 9.6"
• Weight .3.2 kg or 7 lbs) 
• Acrylic design

This  ACR Mammo Phantom is made by Pro-Project, a company established in 1991 with many years of experience in manufactureing QA and QC equiipment for medical imaging including assurance devices (phantoms) with supporting applications and services.

This phantom can test the performance of a mammographic system and its ability to image small structures similar to those found clinically: calcifications, fibrous calcifications in ducts and tumor masses. 

• simulates 42 mm compressed breast of average glandular/adipose composition
• total PMMA thickness: 36.75 mm;; 4 mm thick PMMA contrast disc
• wax insert:– thickness: 7.25 mm; nylon fibrils diameters: 1.56, 1.12, 0.89, 0.75, 0.54 and 0.40 mm: microcalcifications: 0.54, 0.40, 0.32, 0.24 and 0.16 mm Al2O3 specks; tumor-like masses: 2.00, l.00, 0.75, 0.50 and 0.25 mm thick
• comfortable carrying case

MQSA of 1992 requires that all mammography facilities be accredited by an approved body. To receive MQSA accreditation, each facility must submit an image of an ACR-approved phantom and, to maintain accreditation, the phantom must be imaged weekly and records of those images maintained. The ACR has approved the CIRS Model 015 for use in the ACR Mammography Accreditation Program.  

The CIRS Model 015 Mammographic Accreditation Phantom was designed to test the performance of a mammographic system by a quantitative evaluation of the system’s ability to image objects that simulate calcifications, fibrous calcifications in ducts and tumor masses, that are important in the early detection of breast cancer. It simulates 4.2 cm compressed breast of average glandular/adipose composition.
