If coming for a scan that uses ionising radiation to produce diagnostic image like X-ray and CT, radiographers will justify the request to ensure that the benefit of the imaging outweighs the risk associated the with the examination #worldpatientsafetyday #WPSD #patientsafetyQI

All imaging requests need to be from an authorised referrer, and acts as a “prescription” for the test. This means that the radiographer can only carry out the test which has been requested and justified appropriately. #worldpatientsafetyday #WPSD #patientsafetyQI

Image quality checks are completed as part of a Quality Assurance (QA) programme to ensure equipment is functioning correctly and radiation doses are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) whilst images are of a diagnostic quality #worldpatientsafetyday #patientsafetyQI

There are Radiation Protection Advisors (RPA’s) and Radiation Protection Supervisors (RPS’s) in all Imaging Departments, to ensure radiation protection regulations are applied and standards are maintained. #worldpatientsafetyday #patientsafetyQI World Health Organization (WHO)

Contrast scans are performed in CT and MRI to increase the diagnostic quality of the scans. A series of safety questions are asked to ensure that there are minimal risks involved with the administration of the contrast #worldpatientsafetyday #patientsafetyQI
