Quality Control for mammography application
In order to establish and maintain consistent image quality, a regular
evaluation of image quality is advised.
The printer contains an automatic QC procedure for general radiography
applications. If the option for the mammography application is activated,
another QC procedure is available for the mammography application. This QC
procedure has been designed to comply with the NEMA Standards publication
XR 23-2006. In this chapter we will discuss how to control the quality of
mammography applications. This procedure is automatically selected when
there is Mammo media in the input tray.
Local Regulations may require other procedures.
The QC procedure consists of two main steps:
• Before initial use, establishing a number of reference values that will be
used for further follow-up and verifying initial image quality.
• After establishing these values, performing regular daily, weekly and
annual quality tests.
The results of these tests are recorded on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image has several additional fields where the QC data can be filled in.
This image should be filed as part of the QC procedure.
