Abstract
The majority of medical facilities in the Slovak Republic archive diagnostic images of their patients in a picture archiving and communicating system (PACS). Data from the PACS system can be used to analyse patient radiation dose and perform internal and external quality control through dose monitoring software systems. However, appropriate use of such systems requires the provision of feedback and the ability of staff to identify causes of diagnostic reference level exceedances. The present pilot study evaluated the use of a Dose quality control system (DQC) for monitoring the radiation dose of the patients in the ongoing mammography screening, with subsequent identification of alerts triggered by the system.
