Abstract:
A "daylight" development system adapted for mammography has been employed over a period of 18 months. Rigid MR 50 Agfa-Gevaert cassettes were adapted for use in th Gévamatic L modular system. Compatibility of this mammography cassette with the unloading module of the Gévamatic system was ensured by the employ of an intermediate metallic frame, adaptable to the cassette and modifying its opening system. The modified apparatus appears to give reliable results which should incite manufacturers to adopt their "daylight" development systems to mammography examinations. Wider diffusion of these systems is probably limited by their current inability to be employed for mammography.
