Optimizing Quality Assurance Measurements for Clinical X-ray Tubes and Generators

This comprehensive book provides a thorough understanding of the theoretical principles underlying quality assurance (QA) measurements for clinical X-ray tubes and generators. It offers practical guidance on making QA measurements, using equipment commonly found in medical physics departments, and discusses alternative techniques and their limitations.

Key Features of the Book

The IPEM report 32 series is a key UK guidance on the performance of quality assurance procedures across a range of diagnostic and interventional X-ray generating and imaging equipment, widely referenced internationally.

• An update on guidance for medical physics departments for quality assurance measurements for X-ray tubes and generators, considering advances in technology of X-ray generating equipment.
• Evidence-based guidance, particularly referencing the evidence-based QA working party outputs and relevant UK standards.
• Updated to account for modern measuring devices and techniques, including those not widely commercially available at the time of publication of the previous version.
• Expanded to cover QA of X-ray tube and generator and associated ancillaries not previously covered in Report 32 part I, including dental X-ray generating equipment, tomography, and key radiation safety features.
