QC test
The following Quality Control Manual tests have to be carried out:
- Chest wall missed tissue
- Collimator assessment
- Compression plate overlap on the chest wall side
- Phantom image quality
- Detector uniformity
- Mean glandular dose
- AEC Image stability and reproducibility, signal-to-noise ratio
- Ghost image evaluation
- AEC testing / AEC Thickness Tracking Test
The numbers of the above-listed tests were taken from the QC-M (for DROC,
excluding USA). Since the instructions for use and the QC manuals differ not only
by workstation, but also reflect rules and regulations specific to the USA and
other countries, the CSE must explicitly follow the documentation on site.
Record the related results in the Quality Control Manual Protocol and file it with the sys-
tem.
Final work steps
Perform a test exposure with the collimator-mounted phantom. When the system is func-
tioning properly, turn it over to the customer.
