New digital mammography quality assurance protocols are needed to ensure diagnostic image quality and address dose implications. This document recommends updated procedures for the Australasian region, including teleradiology and digital biopsy units.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Quality Assurance

Background:

  • Previous screen-film mammography quality assurance (QA) protocols are inadequate for digital mammography.
  • Digital mammography presents new challenges in image quality and radiation dose management.
  • Teleradiology in mammography requires specific QA considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current international and local practices in digital mammography QA.
  • To address the limitations of existing protocols for digital imaging technology.
  • To recommend appropriate QA test procedures for the Australasian environment.

Main Methods:

  • Review of overseas practices and local experience in digital mammography.
  • Analysis of current developments in digital imaging technology.

  • Consideration of QA for digital biopsy units used in mammography.

    • Main Results:

    • Existing screen-film protocols do not meet the needs of digital mammography.
    • There is a lack of international consensus on specific digital mammography QA tests.
    • The document proposes suitable QA test procedures for the Australasian region.

    Conclusions:

    • Updated QA programs are essential for digital mammography to ensure diagnostic accuracy and manage dose.
    • The recommended procedures aim to harmonize QA practices in the Australasian context.
    • Future technological advancements may necessitate revisions to these QA guidelines.
