Quality Assurance
Introduction
A good Quality Assurance Evaluation program consists of
planned systematic actions that provide the user with adequate
confidence that their diagnostic ultrasound system will produce
consistently high quality images and quantitative information.
Therefore, it is in the best interests of every ultrasound user to
routinely monitor equipment performance.
The frequency of Quality Assurance evaluations should be
based on user’s specific needs and clinical practice.
Periodic monitoring is essential in order to detect the
performance changes that occur through normal aging of
system components. Routine equipment evaluations may also
reduce the duration of exams, number of repeat exams, and
maintenance time required.
Refer to the System Care and Maintenance section of this
chapter for system and peripheral routine preventive
maintenance instructions.
