[Quality assurance in radiology from the viewpoint of the specialists and the supervisory authorities].
Quality assurance for diagnostic imaging equipment has been successful so far. In the old Federal Republic of Germany, inspection of the existing equipment in diagnostic radiology in being completed. The estimated number of uninspected units is relatively small. All detected shortcomings have been repaired in the meantime, and very few faults have been detected in newly installed equipment. Of the status obtained following inspection and repair is to be maintained, however, more effective methods must be implemented. There is no doubt that everybody involved in quality assurance programs, including the experts and supervisory authorities, is actively working on improving the results.
