The IAEA remote and automated quality control methodology for radiography and mammography.

ABSTRACT: Radiography remains the most widely used imaging modality throughout the world. Additionally, while it has been demonstrated that a quality control (QC) program, especially in mammography, improves image quality, weekly technologist QC testing might be lacking even where there is clinical qualified medical physicist (CQMP) support. Therefore, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) developed simple QC phantoms that can easily be used on a regular basis (daily/weekly) for radiography and mammography. These are simple in design and use materials that are easily accessible in most parts of the world. A software application is also developed that automatically analyzes images and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) header information. It exports data to a comma-separat
