Abstract

The results of a pilot study on mammographic quality control in 58 x-ray departments in West Berlin are reported. Using a systematically developed phantom, an insight was gained into the present state of mammography and various unexpected faults which were diagnostically important, were revealed. Standard values for the type of radiation, effective image contrast, resolution, geometry and radiation dose could be ascertained, which can serve as a basis for mammographic quality control.
