2.1. Overview
The R2 DM system is a full-featured mammography film-scanning platform designed
to:
•
Scan mammography X-ray films and convert them into digital image files.
•
Allow users to review the scanned images, and to reorient, label, and reprocess the
images as needed.
•
Interface with a patient database to retrieve patient information, which can then
be integrated with the study images.
•
Use Hologic’s DigitalNow™ feature to transmit the digital mammography image
files to an output device such as a PACS for archiving.
•
Use Hologic’s ImageChecker® CAD algorithm to analyze the images in order to
mark regions of interest on routine screening and diagnostic mammograms, and
transmit the ImageChecker results to an output device such as the R2
CheckMate™ Ultra display unit where they can be viewed.
