In order to provide a precise radiography for diagnosis, it is required that we avoid radiography with defects by having enough evaluation. Conventionally, evaluation was performed only by observation of a radiological technologist (RT). The evaluation support system was developed for providing a high quality assurance without depending on RT observation only. The evaluation support system, cal...

The authors discuss the responsibility of veterinary diagnostic laboratories as suppliers of analytical data for tests on animals and animal products. The guarantee of the quality of analytical data is a basic quality requirement for veterinary certification. It is therefore important for the laboratory to adopt operational quality assurance standards which are recognised internationally. The m...

introduction high doses of ionizing radiation can lead to adverse health outcomes such as cancer induction in humans. although the consequences are less evident at very low radiation doses, the associated risks are of societal importance. this study aimed at assessing entrance skin doses (esds) in patients undergoing selected diagnostic x-ray examinations at public hospitals of akwa ibom state,...

Although the consequences are less evident at very low radiation doses, the associated risks are of societal importance.

introduction radiation exposures from diagnostic medical examinations are generally low and are almost always justified by the benefits of accurate diagnosis of possible disease conditions. therefore, entrance skin dose (esd), body organ dose (bod), and effective dose (ed) from adult patients undergoing routine thorax posterior-anterior (pa) and thorax right lateral (rlat) were estimated in uni...

Image monitors and viewing boxes have a crucial role in the diagnostic process. Modern radiology uses different modalities to produce digital images which are to be viewed in different parts of the radiology department and throughout the hospital, sometimes simultaneously, via the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Therefore, the quality of the image monitors is of great import...

Diagnostic X-ray imaging depends on the maintenance of image quality that allows for proper diagnosis of medical conditions. Maintenance of image quality requires quality assurance programs on the various X-ray modalities, which consist of pro-jection radiography (including mobile X-ray units), fluoroscopy, mammography, and computed tomography (CT) scanning. Currently a variety of modality-spec...

Introduction: Very low, Low and Medium X-ray machines are used extensively for Superficial Radiation Therapy mostly used for Basal Cell, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, and Melanoma skin cancers. In most of cases, Superficial X-ray Therapy (SXRT) is preferred to Electron beams generated using a linear accelerator. SXRT tube characteristics may vary with the use of the machine for a lo...
