Quality control procedure
In order to establish and maintain constant image quality, a regular evaluation
of the image quality is advised.
The Drystar 5300 Imager contains an automatic QC feature designed to
maintain optimum image quality. The QC procedure consists of two main
steps:
• Before initial use, establishing a number of reference values that will be used
for further follow-up and verifying initial image quality.
• After establishing these values, performing regular daily, weekly and annual
quality tests.
The results of these tests are registered on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image (see page 116) has several additional fields where the QC
data can be filled in. This image should be filed as part of the QC procedure.
For more info on QC charts, please refer to Appendix C ‘Quality Control
Charts’ on page 199.
