Agfa Mammography Portfolio

Agfa's vendor-neutral mammography portfolio: Mamoray film, DRYSTAR printers, MUSICA processing, CR Mammo and DR Mammo Retrofit.

Agfa Mammography Portfolio

Agfa offers a dedicated, vendor-neutral mammography portfolio that spans classic film and diagnostic printing through digital radiography and mammography image management workstations. These solutions are compatible with all mammography modalities and are suited to both screening and diagnosis.

The design of every component focuses on balancing low dose with high image quality. Agfa's dedicated Dose Alignment Procedure calibrates the automatic exposure control (AEC) for all breast thicknesses and tissue compositions.
