AbstractID: 9890 Title: Quality Control Testing of Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Units: QC overview
The recommendations of the American College of Radiology’s Stereotactic Breast Biopsy Quality
Control Manual will be discussed. This session will provide an overview of the QC program
requirements for medical physicists and technologists. For each of these QC tests, typical
procedures, acceptable results and potential problems will be presented. Machine-specific issues
will be addressed in subsequent program sessions. The author is a paid lecturer and consultant for
Lorad.
Educational Objectives:
1. Review ACR Accreditation recommendations for QC testing of stereotactic breast biopsy
units.
2. To educate the medical physicist in the methods of performing the physicists tests described
in the ACR Stereotactic Breast Biopsy QC Manual.
3. To prepare the medical physicist to evaluate the Radiologic technologist’s QC program, and
make suggestions for improvement.
