Performing quality control (QC) tests
The following procedures must be performed daily, weekly or annually as
indicated.
The reason for performing quality control tests is to determine if any
significant image quality variation or deterioration has occurred which may
require corrective action. Comparing the results of the tests with the
reference values previously established does this.
This procedure allows the operator to take the necessary preventive actions
before any image quality loss can take place.
