  1. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL KEEPING PATIENTS AND EQUIPMENT HAPPY!

  2. QA • Responsibilities of managers and Radiologists • Patient scheduling • Reception • Preparations • Safety • Personal Treatment

  3. QA TEAM • Patient waiting time • Patient Education • Appropriate follow-up

  4. RADIOLOGISTS • Image Interpretation • Disease/Condition consistent with diagnosis • OUTCOME ANALYSIS • If diagnosis not consistent a study is needed to examine the image interpretation process--outcome analysis

  5. JCAHO • WILL NOT GRANT APPROVAL TO FACILITIES WOTHOUT PROPER QC PROGRAMS • PLEASE NOTE THE 10 STEP QA PROGRAM NOTED ON PAGE 305

  6. QC • Monitors x-ray equipment • Ensures optimal image for Radiologist • Medical physicists designs, implements and maintains

  7. MEASUREMENTS, FREQUENCY AND TOLERANCE Become familiar with tools needed to assess the measurements pgs 306-315. Will specify in class

  8. Handout Specifics • How many rectifiers in a 3phase 6 pulse? • How many pulses per second in 3 phase 6 pulse? • How many pulses per second in 3 phase 12 pulse? • How many rectifiers in a 3 phase 12 pulse? • In a high frequency the source of AC is fed into a____________before entering the high voltage section. This component changes the frequence of the AC from 60 hZ to ____________

  9. Power ratings • Find the difference between power rating of a three phase and high frequency and a single phase unit.

  10. Give Me numbers! • Floor of control booth and wall of control booth. • Window and door of control booth • Exposure switch from any open edge • Scattering intensity of photons • Leakage amount

  11. CR Artifacts (HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT- this is for credit! Describe the types of artifacts noted for: • Imaging plate • Plate reader • Image processing • Laser printer • Operator • Moire pattern
