Mammography Review Workstation and Monitor Testing

Nationwide medical-physics testing for mammography radiologist review workstations, diagnostic monitors, and qualifying remote or home reading locations.

Review workstation testing

Display performance and reading-environment evaluation.

The exact tests follow the workstation, monitor, manufacturer quality-control program, facility requirements, accreditation pathway, and jurisdiction.

Annual workstation monitor testing

Medical-physics evaluation of mammography review displays and the applicable quality-control documentation.

Remote and home reading locations

On-site evaluation for qualifying workstations located outside the imaging facility, including radiologist offices and homes.

Display performance

Applicable quantitative and visual evaluation of luminance response, uniformity, test-pattern visibility, and monitor condition.

Ambient lighting

Assessment of the physical reading environment and lighting conditions within the applicable scope.

Installation or replacement

Evaluation after a qualifying workstation or monitor installation, replacement, relocation, or significant change.

Findings and documentation

Clear results, identified findings, recommendations, and documentation for the facility's quality records.
Service area

On-site mammography workstation testing nationwide.

Available across the United States, including qualifying radiologist offices and home reading locations, with local offices in Miami and Los Angeles.

Frequently asked questions

Mammography review workstation testing questions.

Do you test mammography review workstations in radiologists' homes?

Yes. Testing is available for qualifying mammography review workstations located in radiologist offices and homes. The scope and on-site arrangements depend on the workstation, facility quality program, manufacturer instructions, jurisdiction, and applicable requirements.

What can mammography review workstation testing include?

Depending on the workstation and applicable program, the evaluation may include display luminance response, luminance uniformity, visual test patterns, ambient lighting, calibration and quality-control records, findings, and documentation. The final scope follows the applicable manufacturer, facility, regulatory, and accreditation requirements.

Can all mammography workstation testing be performed remotely?

Not necessarily. Some measurements and evaluations require appropriate test equipment and assessment of the physical reading environment. We determine the suitable on-site and remote components after reviewing the workstation and facility requirements.

Where is mammography workstation monitor testing available?

On-site mammography review workstation and monitor testing is available nationwide, subject to scheduling, project scope, and applicable requirements.
