Abstract
<p>Recently, mammography systems equipped with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) have become widely used in Japan. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to establish a quality control method for DBTs. So far, we have been studying acceptance tests for DBTs with reference to EUREF. In 2020, IEC 61223-3-6 was published, which provides not only acceptance tests but also constancy test methods. Therefore, we conducted data collection using DBTs sold in Japan and examined the feasibility of conducting constancy tests. Although there were some items that were difficult to implement in each device, we were able to confirm quality control items that could be implemented in many devices. In addition, we were able to confirm routine tests that enable rapid evaluation. Based on these results, we have developed a “Digital Breast Tomosynthesis Quality Control Manual”. In this paper, we report an overview of the manual and the results of routine tests.</p>
