RaySafe Xi for mammography

Mammography examinations play an important role in early detection and reduction of mortality from breast cancer. Diagnosis is dependent on the quality of the X-ray image, making the precision of quality assurance measurements important.

There have been rapid improvements made in product development within the mammography field over the last few years. Many manufacturers have released new systems utilizing various target/filter combinations. While the RaySafe Xi MAM and our first version of the M-Pro option was capable of meeting the needs of the market, our close co-operation with our imaging partners has resulted in the improvement of both the scope and precision of the RaySafe Xi MAM solution.

The RaySafe Xi Platinum edition now features additional benefits for mammography measurements:
• Improved algorithms to better handle tube aging effects and variations between different manufacturers tube/filter combinations
• 0.5 kV or 2% precision for all mammo kVp (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh, W/Rh, W/Al)
• PTB approved for all beam qualities (entrance and exit dose)
• Direct HVL measurement in one exposure
• Solution for Scanning Mammo (W/Al)

Developed in partnership with leading manufacturers
A unique feature of the RaySafe Xi MAM detector is its ability to directly measure the HVL for each exposure without the need for filters and multiple exposures. In addition, the standard RaySafe Xi MAM detector simultaneously measures kVp (Mo/Mo), dose, dose rate, HVL, time and waveforms on common beam qualities (Mo/Mo, Mo/Al, Mo/Rh, Rh/Rh, Rh/Al and W/Rh) used in today's mammo X-ray machines.

RaySafe Xi Platinum edition offers extended MAM capabilities when adding optional calibrations such as the M-Pro option with kVp, dose and HVL measurements on W/Rh, Mo/Rh and dose and direct HVL on W/Ag. Additionally a detector for Scanning Mammo using W/Al can be added to your RaySafe Xi Platinum. RaySafe Xi MAM with M-Pro has been developed with leading manufacturers to accommodate new mammographic beam qualities. It can be used on mammography equipment made by Hologic, Sectra, Planmeca, Giotto, GE, Siemens and others.
