The DIMOND III project comprised work packages and subprojects to research digital imaging, interventional radiology and interventional cardiology, i.e. areas where there has been rapid technological change, not matched by radiation protection research. Whilst new practices have great potential benefit, there are risks to patients and staff if the technology is implemented inappropriately. DIMOND aimed to develop generic technology assessment and optimisation tools. Clinical quality criteria and technical parameters were included so that digital imaging procedures can be introduced appropriately. Frequency and dimensions of acceptance and constancy testing for digital imaging systems were studied, along with differences between objective measures of image quality and subjective indices. Patient dosimetry was performed to propose and to establish reference values. Clinical evaluation projects included cardiology, interventional radiology and digital mammography. As a result of the DIMOND project, quality criteria for several procedures were developed. Example results are presented in this paper.
迪蒙德三世项目包含工作包和子项目，用于研究数字成像、介入放射学和介入心脏病学，即技术变化迅速但辐射防护研究未能跟上的领域。虽然新实践有很大的潜在益处，但如果技术实施不当，对患者和工作人员都存在风险。迪蒙德旨在开发通用的技术评估和优化工具。纳入了临床质量标准和技术参数，以便能够适当地引入数字成像程序。研究了数字成像系统验收和稳定性测试的频率及维度，以及图像质量客观测量与主观指标之间的差异。进行了患者剂量测定以提出并确立参考值。临床评估项目包括心脏病学、介入放射学和数字乳腺摄影。作为迪蒙德项目的成果，制定了多个程序的质量标准。本文展示了一些示例结果。
