Figure 19: General view on the CR Mammo cassette
CR Mammo cassettes are specifically designed for the mammography
application and are easily distinguishable from CR General cassettes by their
label.
CR HM5.x Mammo detectors and CR MM3.xR cassettes are not equipped with
a lead foil back-scatter protection which will cause a significant reduction of
image quality if used in other applications than mammography.
