Quality assurance for diagnostic imaging equipment
Book
·
OSTI ID:6147611
This report addresses factors that influence production of an image. It contains the necessary information to enable the imaging physician to report the diagnostic findings to the referring physician. Some of these factors are human, other are inherent to technique and equipment. The subject of the report is quality assurance, i.e., all of the management practices instituted by the imaging physician, to assure highest quality medical care, but an essential element of quality assurance is quality control. The first three sections are concerned with quality assurance in general and the remainder with quality control in specific circumstances. This report provides a systematic approach to procedures which can ensure that the physician and the imaging facility consistently achieve their optimal performance. This in turn, ensures that there is optimal use of radiation and that radiation exposures to patient and staff are maintained at a level consistent with the principles of optimization of radiation protection espoused by the NCRP.
