A quality assurance program in dental radiology.

چکیده
A quality assurance program in radiology provides the basis for systematic measurement of various parameters which affect the quality and production of a radiographic image. We have outlined a program which can be implemented in dental offices by dentists or auxiliary personnel without sophisticated instruments. Tests designed to establish the adequacy of specific functions are described together with reasons for poor image quality. Implementation of a quality assurance program results in reduction in expenditures, increased radiation thrift and improved diagnosis.
