Abstract

Diagnostic radiology provides valuable input to health care delivery. Effective use of this technology can only be assured through a planned and systematic approach of quality assurance. QUALITY ASSURANCE dealing wilh equipment peifonnance is a key element in this systematic approach. The objective of our research is to provide assistance and coordinate setting-up a local qualily assurance program. Such program results in assuring accuracy in routine assessment and control of diagnostic X-ray quality. One of the major steps is the measurement of X-ray tube KILOVOLTAGE. (kVp). Because the conventional kVp meter is expensive and often not available in developing countries, a simple and reliable instrument is needed. Such an instrumentis a film PENETRAMETER, recommended by Cameron,which has shown to possess many advantager such as;ponability,low price, speed and easeof use. We constructed such a simple PENETRAMETER and measured the kVp of 9 X-ray unils in 7 radiology departments. These departments were in hospilals related to Tehran University Of Medical Sciences. The experiment was performed by placing the PENETRAMETER on a conventional X-ray cassette and comparing the images of the PENETRAMETER taken by 9 X-ray unils wilh the images on PENETRAMETER taken by the refrence X-ray unit. This comparison is done to approximate the drop of kVp by least squaremethod. The results showed the drop of X-ray unit kilovltages which in turn proved the necessity of peifonning QUALITY ASSURANCE program in radiology depannents throughout the country.
