Abstract

A method for evaluating processing variability as well as quantitative data on a quality assurance program tested at a radiology department are presented. Thirty per cent of all retakes due to improper overall density could be attributed to processing variation; these could be prevented through a QA program which is highly cost-effective in both monetary and patient-care terms.
