Mammographic Density Control Function Test Tool

The Mammographic Density Control Function (DCF) test tool enables a quick and accurate assessment of a film-screen mammography unit’s Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) accuracy.

The Mammographic DCF Test Tool can record up to eleven exposures on a single piece of film. This saves film cost, set-up time, and processing time. Combining all eleven exposures on a single piece of film eliminates processing variability. The resulting density read-out can be used to perform ACR Density Control Function Tests.

The DCF Test Tool consists of a base plate with an engraved density scale and a sliding exposure plate with a small window. By sliding the exposure plate without moving the cassette, the same film can be exposed at each of up to eleven AEC density steps (-5 to +5). Lightweight, convenient, and economical, the Mammographic DCF Test Tool is an excellent addition to your mammographic QA program.
