Abstract
Routine testing of diagnostic radiology equipment performance has shown that more than 10% of equipment has not been properly setup. It also identifies equipment which is deteriorating in use as well as faults which need immediate correction. There is little doubt it is cost-effective and has also been shown to be effective in reducing the collective dose to the population from diagnostic radiology.
