Barco facilitates softcopy Quality Assurance in mammography imaging with dedicated Mammo Compliance Test
RSNA Annual Meeting, Chicago, IL, USA, 29 November 2009 – Medical display specialist Barco has introduced a new, easy-to-apply Quality Assurance test for digital mammography imaging. The new test bundles various standalone checks into a single automated procedure, ensuring worry-free compliance with the latest MQSA guidelines.
“To optimize this process for our customers, we consolidated these recurring quantitative checks into a specific Mammography Compliance Test for all the diagnostic displays on a mammography workstation. The output of this test is a clear, conclusive result with full details of every measurement. These results are evidence that recommended quality control is performed, compliant with the MQSA directive,” explains Danny Deroo, Product Manager at Barco.
The new Mammography Compliance Test will be a standard feature of Barco's MediCal QAWeb software, which comes with every 5 MegaPixel Barco diagnostic display system. On the Coronis 5MP and Coronis 5MP Mammo displays, the new software runs fully automated and intervention-free via the integrated I-Guard front sensor. If the tested workstation is connected to the MediCal QAWeb Server, a full test report is available via a user-friendly web-interface.

The latest release of MediCal QAWeb, including these new innovations, will be demonstrated at the Barco booth (#8335) in Hall B, at this year's RSNA Annual Meeting. The new version is immediately available for commercial distribution.
