The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Quality Assurance procedures in the
Military Corps in Khartoum state, through the comprehensive Quality Control QC
procedures of the x-ray machines and darkrooms in the x-ray departments, and to
provide a Quality Assurance Manual to support the federal ministry of Health
running QA program.
This study is the first time that the departments of the Military Corps apply Qc
tests on their x-ray machines. The total number of x-ray machines in Khartoum
state is 10 machines with 4 darkrooms. Only three of the x-ray machines are tested
and the results showed that there are unacceptable parameters of the major
exposure factors which determine the image quality. The percentage of accuracy
defects are 67% for kVp Accuracy, 67% for Time Accuracy, 33% for Relative mA
Linearity, 33% for Relative mAs Linearity, 67% for kVp Reproducibility, 67% for
Collimator test. Also the tested darkrooms showed that the percentage of
unacceptable parameters as: 15% for tested intensifying screens, 18% for tested
Cassettes, 100% for light leakage, 67% for Safelight.
Reject film Analysis showed that 5.3% & 10% is the reject percentage during four
months for the main and casualty centers respectively.
Personal monitoring showed that the dose is within the dose limits the maximum
and minimum Dose equivalent in 2001 is 4.231Sv, 0.154Sv and in 2002 is
2.736Sv, 0.167Sv consequently, and the monitoring is stopped since July 2002.
The study gives a review of all definitions and QC procedures needed for the QA
manual and can be referenced as a QA Manual for the Military Corps or any other
hospital.
Through this study it has been obviously clear that there is no QAP or any other
parts of QA, such as QCP. |
