Breast cancer
Early detection is key in the treatment of breast cancer. By order of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the LRCB performs several tasks within the breast cancer screening programme. For example, we periodically carry out audits, to monitor people and equipment. On the physico-technical side we perform quality control measurements on the imaging systems.
Tuberculosis
To continuously improve the quality of early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of tuberculosis the LRCB performs, by order of the GGD GHOR Nederland and on behalf of all GGD’s (Community Health Services), quality assurance for the radiological part of TB screening, which requires a license. For this screening we periodically carry out audits, to monitor people and equipment. On the physico-technical side we perform quality control measurements on the imaging systems.
