Popularization and Systematization of the X-ray Equipment Quality Control Technology

Abstract

For the purpose of maintaining the high performance of diagnosistic X-ray equipment in hospitals and improving the quality control technology, X-ray equipment measuring system and X-ray equipment quality control project have been developed modeled on one section of Tokyo metropolitan hospital. Through this, the convenient quality control X-ray equipment system with good accuracy became available in clinical facilities. However, systematization and popularization of high-performance quality control technology should be necessary for the development of quality control. This time, we attempted to systematize the quality control and develop a measuring technique manual and a smooth implementation method for all Tokyo metropolitan hospitals. As this result, Tokyo metropolitan hospital X-ray equipment quality control committee for all Tokyo metropolitan hospitals was organized, and a quality control system for identical measuring system and identical measurement level was established in each facility. Cooperation between university and metropolitan hospitals and effective utilization of measuring system became possible. The system was useful for the popularization and improvement of the quality control technology in hospitals.
