MAMMO is a solution for centralized technical quality monitoring in digital breast cancer screening programmes. The analysis methods are unique and developed to perform a more extensive evaluation than the one proposed by EUREF.
MAMMO is available in two configurations: a cloud-based solution and a locally installed solution. The latter, however, is only project based.
MAMMO helps you improve the quality of your mammography device. It is reliable and reproducible and it saves you time by reducing the time needed to perform the tests.
Another advantage of MAMMO is that users can login to perform an evaluation depending on their level of experience. A supervisor, for example, can access and evaluate data and centrally monitor the data of different hospitals. Local personnel, on the other hand, can evaluate basic parameters and monitor quality.
The system makes centralized copies of the raw data, which makes the data easily retrievable for data analysis. Our unique analysis methods are developed to perform a more extensive evaluation than the one proposed by EUREF. Consequently, our evaluation methods make quality control more reliable.
A constantly growing number of committees across Europe and the US are producing guidelines around radiation dose management. With the EU directive on radiation protection, medical imaging control and monitoring has become indispensable. If you are offering breast cancer screening programmes, you are obliged to regularly test the quality of your mammography device. MAMMO can track changes in the display monitors and alerts you when something goes wrong with the monitor calibration.
MAMMO provides you with an extensive software to test quality on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. It looks for deviating pixels, ghost images, calibration artefact, defective detectors column, wrong grid movement, dust, ... These are some issues that MAMMO covers to assure an optimal quality for your mammography device.
The screenshot below demonstrates how deviating pixels is displayed on a unit that would fail this test.
MAMMO automates, and therefore simplifies, the quality control of your mammography device. Our software provides you with direct input about the quality of the images and device and reduces the time needed to perform tests.
Different users can use our software to perform an evaluation depending on their level of experience. A supervisor can have advanced data access to make evaluations and local personnel can be made more conscious of the need for quality.
MAMMO centrally stores raw data copies, making it easy to retrieve and analyze. Its advanced evaluation methods exceed standard guidelines like EUREF, resulting in more thorough and reliable quality control of your mammography devices.
Regular quality testing of mammography devices is mandatory under EU radiation protection directives. MAMMO helps you comply by continuously tracking monitor performance, alerting you immediately when calibration or image quality issues arise, thus ensuring patient safety and accurate diagnostics.
MAMMO identifies a wide range of potential device problems including deviating pixels, ghost images, calibration artifacts, defective detector columns, grid movement errors, and dust. This comprehensive detection helps maintain optimal image quality daily, weekly, or monthly.
MAMMO automates and simplifies mammography quality control so that users with varying experience can perform evaluations confidently. Supervisors have access to advanced data, while local staff can easily understand the importance of quality, boosting awareness and compliance.
By automating complex quality control tasks and providing instant feedback on image and device performance, MAMMO significantly reduces the time required for tests, allowing your team to focus on patient care while ensuring consistent mammography quality.
