The Contrast Detail Phantom for Mammography is easy to use. Simply place the phantom on the image
receptor surface in the same position as a breast. Position the x-ray tube and compression device as in a
craniocaudal examination. When using the phantom on prone position breast biopsy systems, use the
rotating top plate of the phantom and the compression device to secure the phantom against the image
receptor. Choose the appropriate kV and mAs factors (26 kV and 60 mAs works well on most systems),
or select automatic exposure control.
