CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO QUALITY
MANAGEMENT
Quality management in imaging sciences focuses on maintaining high
standards of patient care, radiation safety, equipment performance,
and diagnostic image quality through continuous assessment and
improvement. Key concepts include quality assurance, quality
control, accreditation, regulatory compliance, patient-centered care,
and performance evaluation. Imaging professionals use systematic
quality management practices to reduce errors, improve efficiency,
ensure accurate diagnoses, and promote safe, effective healthcare
delivery across radiologic environments.
1. Which term best describes the overall process of ensuring
excellence in imaging services?
A. Radiation exposure
B. Quality management
, C. Image receptor analysis
D. Contrast enhancement
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Quality management encompasses all activities designed to
maintain and improve imaging services, patient safety, equipment
function, and diagnostic accuracy. The other options address isolated
technical concepts.
2. A radiographer notices repeated positioning errors in chest
radiographs. Which action best reflects quality improvement?
A. Ignore the issue
B. Repeat images without reporting
C. Analyze causes and implement corrective training
D. Blame equipment malfunction
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Quality improvement involves identifying causes of
problems and implementing systematic corrective actions. Ignoring or
blaming without investigation does not improve patient care or
imaging quality.
