KCARE and the NHSBSP

KCARE has worked with the National Health Service Breast Screening Programme (NHSBSP) since its inception in 1988. Most mammography equipment offered to the NHSBSP undergoes an assessment procedure. This includes mammography X-ray units, digital imaging devices and film screen systems plus associated processing equipment.

The equipment is generally installed in a centre used for routine breast screening where KCARE staff carry out an in depth technical evaluation and co-ordinate the user evaluation of the equipment, in conjunction with the physics and clinical staff at the assessment site. Additional information, including calculation of typical dose values, may be provided by the National Co-ordinating Centre for the Physics of Mammography.
