Performance measurements of 30 mammographic installations were carried out in order to see the current level of image quality and breast doses.The half of the systems tested in this survey indicated automatic exposure control and beam collimation problems. Film processing and dark room conditions were not optimum for the majority of the installations. Image quality phantoms were exposed by the user and team of the survey at each visited center. Lower breast doses were obtained at equal image qualities for the radiographs of the team indicating the importance of adequate handling of some exposure parameters. Corrective actions were suggested to each installation and necessary guidance was advised for the implementation of routine quality control activities.
