for healthcare providers regarding participation into a project to map quality compliance to CT workplaces within the meaning of Act No. 355/2007 Coll. on Protection, Support and Development on public health and amending certain laws, as amended regulations as well as government regulations No 340/2006 Coll. on health protection persons before the adverse effects of ionising radiation in medical treatment radiation.
Requirements for harmonisation, review and evaluation Radiological procedures by systematic independent control of radiological procedures Workplaces are enshrined in European Directive 159/2009 (European Commission) Guidelines on Clinical Audits for Medical Radiological Practices), More Significant justified by the current European Directive 2013/59/EURATOM implements into Slovak legislation with effect from 1. 1. 2018.
Project objectives
Computed tomography provides significantly more information than other imaging
radiodiagnostic methods and bring huge benefits to internal diagnostics
disease, cancer monitoring and more detachable compliance
criteria for diagnosis. CT devices are increasingly sophisticated,
At the same time, however, they represent the greatest contribution to the exposure of the artificial population
radiation sources generated. Need for optimisation and harmonisation of investigators
Radiological procedures, strict compliance with the technological level of CT scans
and comparability with validated radiological standards, as low as possible
absorbed radiation doses are the main objectives of the work of control groups.
The inclusion of the workplace starts with the completion of the attached input questionnaire
Completed input questionnaire to evaluate the quality of the computer tomography (CT) workplace is to be submitted by 15.08.2016 (the query is annexed to this Communication).
Method of submission of the input questionnaire:
