A general held position among radiological personnel prior to digitalisation was that the
problem of image rejects/retakes should more or less vanish. However, rejects/retakes still …

Background The number of rejected images is an indicator of image quality and
unnecessary imaging at a radiology department. Image reject analysis was frequent in the …

Introduction Reject analysis in digital radiography (DR) helps guide the education and
training of staff, influences department workflow, reduces patient dose and improves …

Quality control (QC) in medical imaging is an ongoing process and not just a series of
infrequent evaluations of medical imaging equipment. The QC process involves designing …

Repeat radiographs are necessary to obtain the required diagnostic information, which
increases the patient's radiation dose and detracts from the “as low as reasonably …

Background Reject analysis can be used as a quality indicator, and is an important tool in
localizing areas where optimization is required. Reducing number of rejects is important …

OBJECTIVE. This article describes the different automatic approaches used to collect and
process patient dose values and other procedural data during diagnostic and interventional …

Rejected images represent both unnecessary radiation exposure to patients and inefficiency
in the imaging operation. Rejected images are inherent to projection radiography, where …

There is extensive waste in diagnostic imaging, at the same time as there are long waiting
lists. While the problem of waste in diagnostics has been known for a long time, the problem …

A large database of digital chest radiographs was developed over a 14-month period. Ten
radiographic technologists and five radiologists independently evaluated a stratified subset …
