Quality control (QC) procedures for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) systems are a crucial part of the acceptance of a new modality. In contrast to the situation in the US, the European approach is to provide a device independent protocol with limiting values that should be applied to all systems. A European QC protocol that deals with this challenge is being developed and is currently work-in-progress. In this paper four specific QC tests for DBT, which have reached an (almost) final stage, are presented: reproducibility, system projection MTF, z-resolution and missed tissue at the top and bottom of the reconstructed volume. The proposed tests have been evaluated on several DBT systems. The encouraging results show that these tests will form an appropriate and necessary part of QC procedures for DBT.
