Hologic R2 DM, User Manual

Page: 16 / 106

Part 2: Description
The R2 DM system consists of a touch-screen monitor, a handheld barcode scanner, a
keyboard, a film scanner, and a computer that performs the DigitalNow and
ImageChecker processing, all housed in a movable cart.
When using the system, the technologist loads a stack of cases into the film scanner.
Each case can include from 1 to 24 X-ray mammography films. The technologist
inserts a barcoded R2 separator sheet before each case. When the technologist touches
the Start button on the touch screen, the system begins scanning the films, converting
each film into a digital image, and starting a new case each time it encounters a
separator sheet. After each case is scanned, the technologist has the option to review
the case and verify that the films were scanned correctly. Then the system sends the
images or CAD results to output devices such as display units, PACS or diagnostic
review workstations.
