Digital and interventional radiology are increasingly important areas of radiology. Quality control (QC) of such equipment is of particular importance to avoid unnecessary high doses and to help to achieve good image quality. Within the DIMOND III project, equipment requirements and specifications for digital and interventional radiology have been formulated. A protocol for QC tests has been drafted based on various national and international recommendations. Tests are included for various parts of the imaging chain, i.e. X-ray tube and generator, X-ray tube control system, laser printer and display station, and image quality and patient dose. Preliminary tolerance levels have been set for the various tests, after initial measurements. To check the suitability of QC tests and stated tolerance levels, measurements were made at the University Hospital Gasthuisberg in Leuven for equipment used for paediatric radiology and a unit used for chest examinations. The results of the various tests are reported.
数字放射学和介入放射学在放射学领域日益重要。此类设备的质量控制（QC）对于避免不必要的高剂量辐射以及帮助获得良好的图像质量尤为重要。在DIMOND III项目中，已经制定了数字放射学和介入放射学的设备要求与规范。基于各种国家和国际建议起草了一份质量控制测试方案。该方案涵盖成像链的各个部分，即X射线管和发生器、X射线管控制系统、激光打印机和显示工作站，以及图像质量和患者剂量。在初步测量之后，已经为各项测试设定了初步的公差水平。为了检验质量控制测试和规定公差水平的适用性，在鲁汶的加斯豪斯贝格大学医院对用于儿科放射学的设备以及一个用于胸部检查的设备单元进行了测量。报告了各项测试的结果。
