Sunnybrook Health Science Centre, University of Toronto, North York, Ontario, Canada.

The American College of Radiology has published a report that describes desirable features for new mammography x-ray units that will contribute to high-quality imaging. It encompasses all aspects of x-ray equipment performance including mechanical considerations, the x-ray tube focal spot and spectrum, generator performance, collimation, scatter rejection, and the automatic exposure control. The report is intended to provide guidance to equipment manufacturers and to purchasers of mammography systems with regard to basic performance levels that should be expected.
