Quality Control Procedures for Diagnostic X-ray Equipment

Tsalafoutas Ioannis, AlKhazzam Shady, AlNaemi Huda, Kharita Mohammad Hassan

Publisher: Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press

Summary

This book briefly encompasses all of the routine Quality Control (QC) tests required for Computed Tomography (CT), Fluoroscopy, Radiography, Mammography, Dental Intraoral, Panoramic, Cephalometric, and CBCT systems. It is intended to guide medical physicists through each QC test starting from its purpose and the list of tools required, to the setup of the X-ray equipment, the measuring process, and the interpretation of the results. For each tested parameter, reference and limiting values are cited to allow for the identification of mis-adjustments or malfunctions requiring corrective actions. The QC tests also include the comparison of median values of patient dose indices from data derived from the dose monitoring system with the Diagnostic Reference Level values (DRLs) to test whether the clinical use of each system is optimized.

Electro Girl

Lainie Chait

Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion. Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored. Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame. She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years. But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness. She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family. She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.
