Guidance notes on mammographic x-ray equipment: selection; maintenance; suspension from use; replacement
February 1995 | ISBN 1 871997 91 7 | Archived
The National Coordinating Group for Equipment, aware of an expressed need for guidance, set up a Working Group to prepare advice on all areas of selection, maintenance, suspension from use and replacement of equipment. This report is the outcome of the group's deliberations and sets national standards of good practice for those with responsibilities in these areas in the NHSBSP, and in the symptomatic service and in the private sector.
