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.
