Supported Film Sizes; Mammography Imaging; Automatic Image Quality And Processing - Konica Minolta DRYPRO SIGMA 2 Operation Manual

Supported Film Sizes

The imager is available in different configurations; the following film sizes can be
supported:
• 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.)
• 28 x 35 cm (11 x 14 in.)
• 25 x 30 cm (10 x 12 in.)
• 20 x 25 cm (8 x 10 in.)
Blue and mammography film types may be available.

Mammography Imaging

To manage and support mammography imaging, the imager provides these features.
• You can load mammography film in one or both film supplies.
• The imager can be configured to print mammography images exclusively on
mammography film. If a mammography image request is received, and:
– a cartridge with mammography film is not loaded,
and/or
– the requested mammography film size is not loaded,
then the imager will request the appropriate film size and type. You must load the
requested size and type to print the mammography job.
• Several mammography-specific test prints are provided, including a test print for the
routine calibration of mammography film (for example, a density wedge print). The
default mammography test print is configured during installation and can be
changed from the Web Portal.
Note
See the Mammography Quality Control Manual for more information. Requirements for
mammography quality control vary by region.

Automatic Image Quality and Processing

An internal densitometer enables the imager to automatically adjust image processing
parameters using Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) to produce an optimal image.
The imager adjusts these parameters each time it prints a calibration film.
A calibration film is printed when:
• A film cartridge is inserted in the imager with film of a new lot number.
• You request a calibration film at the display screen or the Web Portal.
• A film cartridge is inserted into the imager for which a current calibration is not
stored.
