Machine control and retrofit software for analog mammography
Machine control, interface and PC-based operator software that bring an installed analog mammography system to digital acquisition — keeping the existing gantry and compression in service while adding a modern console, guided calibration and DICOM output to PACS.
System scope
- Machine control and interface for the analog mammography system
- PC-based retrofit control software and operator GUI
- Digital detector integration on the existing gantry
Acquisition workflow
- Patient registration with demographics, patient ID and accession number
- Pregnancy status recorded before exposure for radiation safety
- Standard views selectable: RCC, LCC, RMLO, LMLO
- Capture, on-screen review, and discard for retakes
Detector control
- Detector connection with live status, frame size and window timing
- Exposure parameters recorded at the console: kV, mA, seconds and mAs
- Host and sensor IP configuration for the detector link
Detector calibration
- Guided three-step routine: bright field, dark field, make reference
- Corrects sensor noise and artifacts, and evens detector uniformity
- Reference profile applied automatically to all subsequent captures
- Calibration protected by separate credentials
DICOM & PACS
- DICOM 3.0 output with push to PACS from the console
- Server AET, IP and port configuration with a connectivity test
- Institute and station details written into the DICOM header
- Configurable storage paths for images, calibration and DICOM output
Security & administration
- Secure login with role-based access control
- Permissions restricting features by user privilege
- Station and operator identity recorded against each study
Have an analog mammography system to modernise?
We design the detector integration, generator interfacing, calibration and console software needed to bring an existing machine to digital acquisition.
