A new service introduced by X-Rite lets radiology professionals send their densitometers and sensitometers to the company each year for inspection and calibration to meet Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) requirements.
In other X-Rite news, the Grandville, MI-based vendor introduced its 390 Process Control Densitometer at last week's RSNA meeting. The 390 measures quality assurance data, and can perform the phantom, fog, and screen contact tests required under MQSA regulations.
The vendor also showed its 391 System for optimizing radiographic film development processes. It includes a densitometer, sensitometer, and printer with automatic selection of density steps used for speed and contrast, per MQSA requirements.
