FDA oks Konica Minolta CR mammography system

The FDA has cleared Konica Minolta Medical Imaging’s Xpress CR Digital Mammography upgrade.

The clearance specifically applies to the company’s CP1M 18 x 24 and 24 x 30 cassettes and the use of the CS-3 control station with the Regius 190 and 210 readers, according to Wayne, N.J.-based Konica.

The system recognizes cassette types to accommodate digital imaging for both general radiography and mammography applications. The CS-3 control station includes imaging tools for CR, DR and mammography imaging applications, such as mammography algorithms for skin line detection and chest wall masking.
