Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of medical care and the status of radiological practice and equipment performance according to the protocols established by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in mammography divisions of Shiraz, Iran. In addition, a review of the literature is also presented. Five diagnostic mammography divisions, namely; Namazi, Faghihi, Hafez, Zeinabieh, and MRI were studied. Protocol related to staff and health physicist duties was investigated by arranging a standard questionnaire. Results showed that, approximately 47% of the staff had not passed necessary training in radiation protection and quality assurance radiation program in the beginning of their work. Moreover, about 80% of them had not their licenses renewed by attending the training classes again. More attention should be given to training and protection of the staff and quality control of the mammography machines and equipments.
