Part 3: Studies
3.1. Working with Films
To use the system successfully, please read and understand the film requirements and
modes used to scan the films.
Film Requirements
All films must meet the following requirements:
•
Original films only – no copies
•
No bent, damaged, or curled films
•
18 × 24 cm or 24 × 30 cm standard full-field views
•
No sticky residue, wax or grease pencil marks on films
•
No labels over the edges of films, or curled labels
•
MQSA or other required standards
Because the scanner uses suction cups to lift each film into the scanner, anything that
interferes with the suction cups, such as a patient label placed improperly or a wax
pen mark, may cause the scanner to drop films.
R2-Supported Lead Markers
The R2 film-scanning platform can scan any film-based mammograms that meet the
requirements listed above. However, when you use R2-supported lead markers with
the four standard views, there is an additional degree of convenience: you can load
the films in any orientation and in any order. (For more information, see ‘
.)
R2-supported lead markers are available from Livingston Products, Siemens, Techno-
Aide, All-Craft Wellman, and Hologic. An illustration of the supported type from
each company is shown below.
