>Greetings from Montréal:
>
>In the 1999 edition of the Mammography Quality Control Manual, the
Repeat-Reject
>Analysis presents reasons to reject mammography films.
>
>One of our technicians ask me:
>
>- if there were specific definitions of what is considered a light film,
clear
>film, dark film, black film, and double exposure?
>
>- why do we include dark films in repeated films and not clear films?
>
>Obviously, I provided my own definitions but thinking it over they seem
relevant
>questions for the list.
>
>I would appreciate hearing from medical physicists or others regarding their
>definitions.  Please send these to the list or to me.  I will gladly post the
>results on the MEDPHYS Listserv.
>
>Thank you
