Mammography Collimation Assessment Test Tool

The ONLY product available on the market specifically designed for this requirement, a self-contained precise QA tool that gives you instant measurements by simply viewing the image. The Mammography Collimation Assessment Test Tool (Model 18-303) is simple to use. Just follow the exact instructions contained in the ACR Mammography QC Manual for the Collimation Assessment. The only difference is instead of using all those hard-to-find coins, you only use our test tool. The “0” point of the metal ruler is placed at the edge of the light field. The compression paddle rests on top of the appropriate size plastic peg (1.7 and 2.2 cm pegs are included to accommodate different cassette thicknesses) and the alignment ruler (generously sized at 3 cm in both directions) fits snugly against the edge of the paddle. It couldn’t be much simpler or much quicker.
