1 FFDM Quality Control in Canada - a Vendor Neutral Approach Rasika Rajapakshe, PhD, FCCPM BC Cancer Agency-Center for the Southern Interior Kelowna, BC, Canada 2011 Joint AAPM/COMP Meeting August 4, 2011 Vancouver, BC

2 Outline Background QC Tests Acquisition system Double D SDNR phantom QC Tests Review system Technologist QC Tests Health Canada Draft Safety Code Conclusions

3 Map of Canada ~ 4.5 Million Population estimate (April 2011) : 34,349,236

4 Screening Mammography Program of BC (SMPBC) First organized breast screening program in Canada Established in Sites in total 28 Fixed sites include 3 mobiles 13 Ancillary sites 12 Digital sites ~ 300,000 mammograms/year

5 Digital Transition in SMPBC DR mammography implemented in one center more centers implemented DR mammography Currently ~ 20% of SMP centers are digital Mean Glandular Dose (2007) *: 2.8 mgy (Film/Screen) 1.6 mgy (Digital) * R. Rajapakshe, RSNA (2009), SSE22-02

6 Digital Mammography Process

7 Digital Mammography QC program goals No international standards in place for digital mammography QC ACR Practice Guidelines recommend following vendor QC Various equipment in place with different recommended QC tests Need a standard in place for the program in order to track, troubleshoot and monitor image quality in a consistent fashion

13 Unit Evaluation 1. Temperature in mammography acquisition room within manufacturer specified tolerances. 2. Free standing unit is mechanically stable. 3. All moving parts move smoothly, without obstructions to motion. 4. All locks and detents work properly. 5. Image receptor is free from vibrations during exposure. 6. Compressed breast thickness scale is accurate to +/- 5 mm, reproducible to +/- 2 mm. 7. Automatic decompression override exists (if applicable) and override status displayed. 8. Manual compression release possible with no power to machine. 9. Patient or operator is not exposed to sharp or rough edges or other hazards. 10. Operator protected during exposure by adequate radiation shielding. 11. Operator technique charts are posted. 12. Indicator lights working properly. 13. Maximum Compression pressure applied under power at least 15 dan and less than 20 dan? 14. Maximum Compression pressure applied manually at least 15 dan and less than 30 dan? 15. Back-up timer functioning correctly 16. Annotation on images correct. 17. DICOM header correctly populated.

14 SDNR Test Double D Phantom The phantom is a new test object developed for monitoring digital mammography image performance consistency by monitoring weekly variations in the signal difference noise ratio (SDNR), mas and mean pixel value.
