The main purpose of QC program in diagnostic imaging modalities such as medical ultrasound equipment is to evaluate and define the performance safety equipment. Ultrasound systems contain many sensitive transducers soft parts which may be destroyed due poor handling or use. Over time, any machines, regardless their quality usage, depreciates incurs damage ways. results from Quality Control (QC)...

background: mr imaging is one of the best diagnostic modalities in medicine. during an mr imaging examination, three types of field are employed to produce images. various experimental studies have been performed about the effects of each single type of field but only few studies are available on their combination to generate mr imaging. the main objective of this research work is to study the ...

BACKGROUND This study was aimed at determining the extent to which after-hours diagnostic imaging is appropriate within the case hospital's Emergency Department. This was amid growing concerns of the inappropriateness of some medical investigations within the Australian health-care system. METHODS After-hours referral data and patient notes were used in reviewing the clinical case. Diagnostic...

BACKGROUND Although pheochromocytomas are believed to account for fewer than 0.3% of all cases of hypertension, aggressive diagnostic and surgical intervention is recommended whenever a pheochromocytoma is suspected because uncontrolled catecholamine release from the tumors can lead to catastrophic consequences. Many biochemical diagnostic and imaging localization tests exist for detecting pheo...
