Parameters n %   n %   n %   n %   n %
Monthly imaging quality testing 8 15.4   5 10.0   7 13.5   29 56   49 94.2*
High-contrast details (microcalcifications) 22 42.3   18 34.6   2 3.8   9 17.3   51 98.1*
Low-contrast circular details (disks) 12 23.1   12 23.1   11 21.2   16 30.8   51 98.1*
Low-contrast linear details (fibers) 47 90.4   1 1.9   0 0   3 5.8   51 98.1*
Tumor masses visualization 28 53.8   3 5.8   12 23.1   8 15.4   51 98.1*
Background optical density 23 44.2   11 21.2   9 17.3   8 15.4   51 98.1*
Contrast index 22 42.3   11 21.2   10 19.2   7 13.5   50 96.2*
Absence of imaging artifacts 31 59.6   2 3.8   16 30.8   2 3.8   51 98.1*

The difference for 100% corresponds to the absence of data in the inspection reports.
