Position Mammography Film
To scan mammography film, use the film holder included with your digitizer package, and
match it with the correct type of mammography film, such as 18 x 24 cm mammography film
or 24 x 30 cm mammography film.
Using the film holder ensures precise alignment of film to yield consistent scans, and aids in the
correct performance of the automatic cropping feature during film scanning. When you place
the film holder, please take note of the followings:
• Align the front corners of the film
holder firmly against the top corners of
the U-shaped ruler located at the scan
bed of the digitizer. Make sure to
orient the side with the "Microtek"
logo facing up.
• The arrow marks on both the film
holder and the digitizer are pointing to
each other.
• Keep the Calibration window on the
glass surface clear and unobstructed.
