X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHY UNIT

Systems Data
No. MSDXR0106EA MGU-1000A
APPLICATION
This unit is the MGU-1000A, an inverter-controlled X-ray
mammography unit with a cathode-grounded X-ray tube.

FEATURES
• The source-to-image-receptor distance (SID) is 70 cm.
– The 70-cm SID creates a large effective space, facilitat-
ing the compression operation.
• An isocentric C-arm is used.
– The C-arm can be rotated around the breast (about the
rotation center) regardless of the C-arm position (CC,
MLO, ML, ISO, FB, LMO, LM, or SIO), facilitating posi-
tioning.
• C-arm operating switches with distinctive shapes are
used.
– The distinctive shapes of the C-arm operating switches
allow them to be identified easily, permitting rapid
switch operation.
• C-arm up/down movement can be performed using the • Additional molybdenum (30 µmMo) and rhodium (25

among 10 options, permitting optimum position selec-
tion according to the projection direction.
– The AEC detection field size can be switched between
large and small, permitting optimum size selection
according to breast size (stable AEC is possible even
for mammography of small breasts).
• Either electrical or manual operation can be selected for
breast compression.
– The maximum compression force for electrical opera-
tion can be set.
– In order to minimize examinee discomfort from com-
pression, compression can be released automatically
when X-ray generation is completed.
– The thickness of the compressed breast and compres-
sion force are displayed digitally.
