and mammograms read for other facilities are read on a different set of monitors. So that makes them an excellent candidate for adopting the ACR FFDM QC Manual.</span></p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">So in order to sell them on this, I was wondering if anyone has compared the technologist QC burden for the Siemens QC program against that of the ACR manual. It’s always a good selling point if I can tell
them that it would save the techs xyz minutes per week.</span></p>
