A quality assurance program in diagnostic radiology is an organized effort by the staff to assure that the diagnostic images produced are of sufficiently high quality to provide adequate diagnostic information at the lowest possible cost and with the least possible exposure of the patient to radiation.

• According to the International Atomic Energy Commission registrants and licensees responsible for equipment to produce medical exposures of radiation shall establish a comprehensive Quality Assurance program for medical exposures with the participation of appropriate qualified experts in radiation physics and should include the following:
  • Measurements of the output (e.g., dose, image quality, etc.) of the radiation generators and imaging devices at the time of commissioning and periodically thereafter
  • Verification of the appropriate physical and clinical factors used in patient diagnosis (or treatment)
  • Written records of relevant procedures and results
  • Verification of the appropriate calibration and conditions of operation of dosimetry and monitoring equipment
  • Regular and independent quality audit of the QA program

AMIC will assist you to fully implement a Quality Assurance program to meet these standards!
