Quality Assurance And Control In Digital Mammography

Author(s): Filiz Celebi

In the last two decades, comprehensive guidelines on quality control in mammography have been developed worldwide. At the advent of digital mammography, efforts were made to revise quality assurance guidelines for mammography and adapt them in line with technological advancements. However, transposition of quality control guidelines to procedures that comply with regulations varies across countries. The variations include the tests performed, phantoms used, image quality criteria and limit values. Therefore, we aimed to investigate appropriate quality control guidelines and optimize the routine tests and protocols.
