Quality Assurance (QA) for Mammography Equipment:
 The design of mammographic X-ray equipment stretches X-ray
measurement technology to its limits. And consequently QA for mammography
equipment requires specialised
equipment and expertise.
RPC has provided physics support to the NHS Breast Screening Programme, in
South West London, since its launch in 1990. We are also very pleased
to support the National Training Centre by providing teaching for their
educational programme.
RPC has a full range of
the necessary test equipment and are continually developing our expertise to
cater for the latest mammography technologies. We also
support over ninety other mammography units throughout the UK.
RPC can provide the same level of support to all departments that use
mammographic x-ray equipment.
The services provided include:
-
A full programme of quality assurance checks in accordance with the
requirements of the NHS Breast Screening Programme and the recommendations
laid out in
IPEM Report 91 : "Recommended Standards for the Routine
Performance Testing of Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging Systems".
-
Assessment of patient dose and image quality,
setting of local DRLs.
-
