“…Probably because of the potentially hazardous nature of the radiopharmaceuticals used for nuclear medicine, there have been stricter and better audited guidelines (Williams et al 1989;Lamki et al 1990) for these imaging techniques than for most other radiological tests. As with all imaging, it is important that the correct test is used for the particular clinical problem.…”

SynopsisMost radiology departments have had comprehensive quality assurance programmes up and running for many years. There are several tangible measures of the output of a radiological department in the form of workload, staffing, film quality, film retrieval, accuracy of reports, availability of reports, etc. There are also many less tangible aspects. In this paper, which attempts to cover most of the practical aspects of quality assurance in radiology, the programme is followed through from the initiation of the request for a radiological investigation right up to its possible influence on the outcome of the patient. The educational aspects are also addressed in this rapidly evolving field.

With the introduction and wide application of Clinical Governance to all clinical areas, all healthcare professionals including radiographers/technologists working in Nuclear Medicine need to gain skills required for implementation. New professional and legal obligations demand that relevant expertise is developed. This article examines the potential for role expansion of radiographers/technologists in Nuclear Medicine with emphasis on the training and development aspects. The key areas addressed include clinical audit, risk management, research, management and continuing professional development.
