Elaboración de un Protocolo de Control de Calidad para el Tomógrafo Digital Computarizado Toshiba Activion TSX-031 A del Area de Imagenología del Hospital Provincial General Docente Riobamba

Abstract

A Quality Control Protocol was developed for the computed Tomograph (TC) Toshiba. Activion TSX-031A of the Hospital General Docente Riobamba to establish criteria contributing to reaching an efficient use of the ionizing radiations and permi the btainment of high quality diagnosis images with the least possibl risk to the paticnt and ccupationallyexposed personnel.

""The inductive methods were used for information and the deductive ones for the technical analysis of cach protocol parameter. Through the bibliogmphy techniques upxlated and specific information was collected, and through observation techniques and equipment operation technical information bout its functioning was obtained.

""his protocol meets the national and intemational norms such as those put forward by the OIEA, WHO, SCIAN, ICRP and UNSCEAR, general protocols for the radio-diagnosis were also taken as a reference. It compriscs three important parts: the cquipment functioning, the description of the cach physical parameter and material such as fanthoms, “onizaion cameras, oltmetes and the process to cary out cach test

Because of the investigation nature there ís fis hcoretical par and a technological one, as the (TC) is totally documented by the manufacturer. This investigation those not need a hypolhesis butt has an accomplished the general objective this protocol will help as the basis forthe realizaion of a quality guarantee program for the Imagenology area.

The immediate protocol use ¡s recommended prevent from radiology accidents and the

equipenent irreparable damage.
