Quality improvement 101 in medical imaging: Why, what, how
AbstractQuality is consistently doing something well; in healthcare, this centres on providing consistently safe, effective and appropriate, timely and accessible, efficient and equitable care. The ability to identify and rectify failures in the delivery of quality care and to continuously improve the quality of the care we provide is a fundamental requirement of healthcare professionals in the 21st century. There is both a scientific and an empirical basis to quality improvement methodology. The project management techniques that underpin these can be taught, and learned, but rarely are, in postgraduate medical curricula....

National diagnostic reference levels: What they are, why we need them and what ’s next
AbstractDiagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are an optimisation tool for medical imaging procedures using ionising radiation. They give an indication of the expected radiation dose received by an average-sized patient undergoing a given imaging procedure. Comparison of typical (median) exposure levels for common imaging procedures with DRLs helps imaging facilities identify procedures that may be amenable to further optimisation. Undertaking comparisons with published DRLs is a requirement for medical imaging facilities under the Code for Radiation Protection in Medical Exposure and for their access to Medicare rebates unde...

Plan quality in radiotherapy treatment planning – Review of the factors and challenges
AbstractA high-quality treatment plan aims to best achieve the clinical prescription, balancing high target dose to maximise tumour control against sufficiently low organ-at-risk dose for acceptably low toxicity. Treatment planning (TP) includes multiple steps from simulation/imaging and segmentation to technical plan production and reporting. Consistent quality across this process requires close collaboration and communication between clinical and technical experts, to clearly understand clinical requirements and priorities and also practical uncertainties, limitations and compromises. TP quality depends on many aspects, ...
