MAMMI is a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) system for medical imaging applications and for measuring the distribution of positron-emitting radiodrugs administered to patients to detect breast cancer. The system MAMMI presents two modalities:- Breast PET Mammography System with a single ring (SR) detector and a prone examination bed (this record).- Breast PET Mammography System with a double ring (DR) detector and a prone examination bed.
An assembly of devices comprising a diagnostic, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging system used to detect, record, quantify and analyse 511 kilo-electronvolt (keV) photon emission patterns resulting from annihilation reactions produced during the decay of positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals. It produces three-dimensional (3-D) tomographic digital cross-sectional physiological images representing distribution patterns of positron emitting radiopharmaceuticals ingested by, or injected into the patient. It typically uses lead collimators and specialized software for image reconstruction allowing mapping of metabolic patterns and rates associated with targeted physiological processes.
