Breast Cancer Detection in Qatar: Evaluation of Mammography Image Quality Using A Standardized Assessment Tool

Öz:
Objective: Compared with other countries in the Middle East, Qatar has one of the highest breast cancer incidence and mortality rates. Poorquality mammography images may be associated with advanced stage breast cancer, however there is limited information about the quality of breastimaging in Qatar. Our purpose was to evaluate the clinical image quality of mammography examinations performed at a tertiary care center in Doha,Qatar using a standardized assessment tool.Materials and Methods: Bilateral mammograms from consecutive patients from a tertiary care cancer center in Doha, Qatar were obtained.Proportions of examinations deemed adequate for interpretation were estimated. Standardized clinical image quality assessment form was utilized toevaluate image quality components. For each image, image quality components were given grades on a 1-5 scale (5- excellent, 4- good, 3- average,2- fair, 1- poor). Mean scores with 95% confidence intervals were estimated for each component.Results: Consecutive sample of 132 patients was obtained representing 528 mammographic images. Overall, 99.2% of patients underwent examinations rated as acceptable for interpretation. Mean scores for each image quality component ranged from 4.045 to 5.000 (lowest score for inframammary fold). Image quality component scores were 93.0% excellent, 5.2% good, 1.1% average, 0.6% fair, and 0.1% poor.Conclusion: Overall image quality at a tertiary care center in Doha, Qatar was acceptable for interpretation with minimal areas identified for improvement.
