MAMORAY HDR-C Plus

Single-sided orthochromatic mammography film, providing high-contrast mammography images with enhanced skin line visualization.

Key benefits

Enhanced contrast and visualization of skin line, while maintaining exposure latitude.
Split Emulsion Layer technology providing three separate emulsion layers.
Cubic Crystal technology, minimizing noise on the image caused by inherent graininess and improving processing consistency.
Comfortable neutral image tint, thanks to the silver crystal structure.

Product description
Features
Technical Specifications

MAMORAY HDR-C (high dynamic range - contrast) Plus film is designed for standard rapid (RP) processing. It uses two emulsion technologies working together: Split Emulsion Layer (S.E.L.) and Cubic Crystal technologies, which results in an unmatched mammography image quality.

MAMORAY HDR-C provides the best results in combination with MAMORAY screens and cassettes. The use of G138i developer and G334i HD fixer are strongly recommended.

Can be used with following products and services

G138i developer and G334i fixer are strongly recommended, along with MAMORAY screens and cassettes.

Suitable for following market segments

MAMORAY HDR-C Plus film is designed for standard RP processing.

Two emulsion technologies working together

MAMORAY HDR-C Plus uses both the Split Emulsion Layer (S.E.L.) and the Cubic Crystal technologies. Agfa HealthCare's Split Emulsion Layer technology provides the MAMORAY HDR-C Plus film with three emulsion layers on one side of the film. Each layer consists of monodispersed Cubic Crystals of identical size. Because the latent image is formed on the edge of the crystals, the developing chemicals (G138i) do not have to penetrate into the crystals. As a result the developing process is fast and allows less scope for variations. In this way Agfa's Cubic Crystal technology ensures extremely consistent mammography images.

High dynamic range

MAMORAY HDR-C performs well for mammography imaging due to its high dynamic range. For every image, the contrast is optimized for each density range. Equally, the system provides excellent visualization of details which are further enhanced by the masking effect of high maximum density in the non-image area adjacent to the skin line. The design of the dynamic range lets you visualize clinically significant information in both glandular and retroglandular tissue.

Consistent and easy to use

Agfa's Cubic Crystal technology provides highly consistent processing results and optimal image quality. Normal fluctuations in the processing conditions hardly have any effect on the sensitometry of the film. The silver crystal structure produces a comfortable neutral image tint that helps to perceive tiny low contrast details.

Processing conditions MAMORAY HDR-C film

MAMORAY™ HDR-C Plus: Processing conditions

1 Available on all E.O.S. processing equipment. There are 3 settings: on, off and auto. On means that there is always a minimum amount of developer added to the developer tank. Auto means that the jog cycle is switched on, which indicates that less than 3 m2 (about 75 films) was processed the day before.

2 Available on all E.O.S. processing equipment. Every time the processor is started, one fourth of the developer is replaced.
