This is the second revision of the NHSBSP quality assurance guidelines for radiology. It updates and replaces those published in May 1997 as Quality Assurance Guidelines for Radiologists (NHSBSP publication no 15). As before, these guidelines have been produced by a subgroup of the NHSBSP Radiology Quality assurance Coordinating Committee and take into account the changes in practice since 1997, particularly the increasing involvemeny of breast clinicians and radiographers as screening mammography film readers. The guidelines also take into account the changes in performance that have been achieved in the NHSBSP over the past seven years.
