Changes compared to version 1.01:

The dose reference values have been changed to limiting values.
The limiting dose value for 20 mm PMMA thickness has changed from 1.0 mGy to 1.2 mGy. This has been done because feedback was received and was noted that the value of 1.0 mGy was difficult to achieve with sufficient image quality for DBT systems.
Some text has been added regarding the mode in which mages have to be made in some methods of measurement.

Due to the rapid developments the European breast tomosynthesis protocol (version 1.01) has been updated and released.

Changes compared to version 1.0:

Table 1 has been updated.
For scanning geometry DBT systems inherently without projection images it has been mentioned in the description of several measurements that the simple backprojection mode should be used.
In the terms of definition the reference ROI in simple backprojection images has been added.
In the dosimetry section the s-factor for Rh/Ag has been added.
Some small errors has been corrected.
