Abstract
X ray procedures which involve fluoroscopy often give significant radiation doses to patients. A valuable radiation protection procedure is the adoption of a quality assurance programme which will ensure the continual production of optimal quality images with the minimum necessary dose to the patient. Various publications exist which provide information on quality assurance (QA) and constancy checking of fluoroscopy and fluorography systems. These publications were reviewed and tests recommended for QA and constancy checking of fluoroscopy and fluorography systems are presented. It was found that not much information exists on QA and constancy checking for digital subtraction angiography and digital fluorography systems. More research is required in this field. Information on protocols used by various countries of the European Community for QA and constancy checking of fluoroscopy and fluorography systems was gathered. From this information it is apparent that there is a need for harmonisation within Europe.
