Quality assurance guidelines for breast cancer screening radiology
Published March 2011 [Second Edition]
This edition updates and replaces the Quality Assurance Guidelines for Breast Cancer Screening Radiology published in December 2005. The new guidelines take into account the increasing professional participation of radiographers and breast clinicians, as well as radiologists, in the breast screening process. They also reflect the changes in performance that have been achieved in the NHSBSP over the past six years.
