The AKMammo 1012C is a high-performance wireless cassette-sized mammography flat panel detector developed by ArKang, engineered to upgrade analog mammography systems to digital imaging platforms. Built on amorphous silicon (a-Si) TFT sensor technology and paired with a CsI scintillator, this mammography flat panel detector delivers exceptional image quality with high Detective Quantum Efficiency (DQE) and Modulation Transfer Function (MTF), making it ideal for FFDM (Full-Field Digital Mammography) applications. Its compact, lightweight design ensures seamless integration into existing clinical workflows, while a reliable Automatic Exposure Detection (AED) function enables compatibility with the AEC systems of legacy analog mammography machines.
Core Features and Advantages
-
Ultra-High Resolution for Mammographic Imaging
This mammography flat panel detector features an 85 μm pixel pitch and 16-bit ADC, delivering a spatial resolution of 6 lp/mm—critical for detecting subtle microcalcifications and soft-tissue abnormalities in breast tissue. The CsI scintillator enhances light conversion efficiency, producing high-contrast, low-noise images with excellent DQE and MTF, supporting confident clinical diagnosis.
-
Seamless Retrofit Compatibility
Designed with a compact form factor, the AKMammo 1012C mammography flat panel detector integrates effortlessly into existing analog mammography systems, eliminating the need for costly full-system overhauls. It supports FFDM workflows and is fully compatible with the AEC functions of legacy equipment, ensuring a smooth transition to digital imaging for clinics and hospitals.
-
Optimized Ergonomics & Imaging Coverage
With a chest wall distance of ≤ 2.5 mm, this mammography flat panel detector minimizes imaging blind spots near the chest wall, ensuring comprehensive coverage of breast tissue. Weighing only ≤ 1.3 kg, it is lightweight and maneuverable, facilitating precise positioning during examinations and reducing technician fatigue.
-
Reliable AED Functionality
Equipped with a specialized sensor, the AKMammo 1012C mammography flat panel detector provides robust AED capabilities to automatically detect X-ray exposure and activate imaging. This not only optimizes exposure parameters for consistent image quality but also reduces the need for retakes, minimizing patient radiation exposure and streamlining clinical workflows.
-
Stable Performance & Fast Data Transfer
The GigE data interface ensures fast, stable image transmission, supporting real-time review and integration with PACS systems. The detector operates reliably in temperatures from 10–40°C and humidity up to 90% RH (non-condensing), ensuring consistent performance in busy clinical environments.
