Two emulsion technologies working together

MAMORAY HDR-C film uses two emulsion technologies working together: Split Emulsion Layer (S.E.L.) and Cubic Crystal technologies. The Split Emulsion Layer technology provides the film with two separate emulsion layers on one side of the film. Each layer consists of monodispersed Cubic Crystals: cubic silver crystals of identical size. These crystals minimize the noise on the image.

MAMORAY HDR-C (high dynamic range - contrast) film is designed for standard rapid (RP) processing and 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.

Two separate emulsion layers

The first S.E.L. emulsion layer provides high contrast in the breast parenchyma and improved visualization of clinically-significant information in dense tissue. The second emulsion layer provides you with a high maximum density, which enhances the visualization of subcutaneous and retro-glandular areas, especially in radio-dense breasts.

High dynamic range

MAMORAY HDR-C performs well for mammography imaging due to its high dynamic range. The sensitometric curve supports the visualization of the varying densities found within the breast, providing optimized contrast at each density.

Consistent results and ease-of-use

Cubic Crystals develop rapidly, improving the consistency of your processing. The normal fluctuations in the processing conditions have hardly any effect on the sensitometric results of the MAMORAY HDR-C film. The optimized silver crystal structure of MAMORAY HDR-C results in a neutral image tint, which makes reading images easier and more comfortable; reduces eye fatigue; and maximizes the ability to visualize small details and fine structures within the breast.

Processing conditions MAMORAY HDR-C film

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.

MAMORAY SCREENS

Recommendations

• Protect MAMORAY screens from humidity

• Do not expose to sunlight or ultraviolet rays, that may result in discoloration or warping.

• Immediately remove dust and stains from the screens

Cleaning

• Only use Agfa screen cleaner to clean the MAMORAY screens
