ULTRASOUND QUALITY CONTROL

Ultrazvuk je jedna od najpopularnijih dijagnostičkih metoda zbog svojih kliničkih prednosti kao što su pouzdanost, djelotvornost, bezbolnost i nizak rizik.. Kako bi se ove značajke iskoristile, ultrazvučni sustavi moraju biti čisti, sigurni i postizati precizne rezultate na konstantnoj razini, što se postiže programima kontrole kvalitete. Kontrola kvalitete ultrazvuka zadaća je tehnologa i medicinskog fizičara, a provodi se na višednevnoj, dnevnoj, tjednoj, mjesečnoj i godišnjoj bazi, ovisno o postupku. Važan dio UZV dijagnostike je postizanje optimalne rezolucije i kontrasta.Ultrasound imaging is one of the most popular diagnostic methods today, due to its clinical advantages such as reliability, efficiency, painlessness and low risk of the method itself. To make sure all those characteristics are put in use, ultrasound systems must be clean, safe and achieve accurate results consistently, which is achieved due to ultrasound quality control programs. Sonographers and medical physicians are responsible for running a quality control program, which is done multiple times a day, daily, weekly, monthly and annually, depending on the procedure. An important part of ultrasound imaging is making sure both resolution and contrast are at ideal values
