ANRAD offers two important accessories with the SMAM and LMAM direct X-ray detectors that enable consistently good image quality: Pegasus™ software and Power Unit.

Pegasus™ Software

Pegasus™ is the ANRAD software library that provides the interface between the detectors and the customer’s host software. It features:

  • Detector controls: settings, service, and monitoring during operation
  • Image capture
  • Image corrections: gain, offset, defects, and other special corrections for digital mammography acquisitions
  • Optimized image corrections for tomosynthesis acquisitions
  • Detector calibration workflow
  • Multi-level log file

Pegasus™ runs under Windows XP® as a COM server. The image processing section is based on Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) library, fully optimized for multi-core Intel processors insuring maximum performance.

Pegasus™ is designed to obtain optimal image correction and compatibility with the customer’s host software.
