Introduction
This chapter provides the general overview of the DirectRay Full Field Digital
Mammography (FFDM-S) system and its components. It also includes safety and
compliance information.
What Is the DirectRay FFDM-S System?
The DirectRay FFDM-S system is composed of the following components in a
direct-to-digital X-ray mammography imaging system:
•
The DirectRay Detector, which converts X-rays into digital data
•
The DirectRay Power and X-ray Control Module (PXCM), which acts as the
interface between the generator, the DirectRay Detector, and the FFDM-S
Acquisition Workstation software.
•
The DirectRay Interface card, a PCI card located in the Acquisition
Workstation, which provides the fiber optic cable connection between the
PXCM and the Acquisition Workstation.
These components are implemented with a generator, tube stand, bucky, and
Acquisition Workstation to form a complete mammography system.
