A case is presented to show the importance of good governance of ultrasound medical imaging equipment. Issues relating to the large numbers and diverse range of users and equipment are identified. Based on experience gained over 25 years, supporting upwards of 1000 systems, discussions consider why and how the testing of ultrasound systems should be approached by both the medical physics expert and end user. The management of the process is presented in the context of professional guidance and monitoring organisations' standards are considered to give a suggested best practice.
本文介绍了一个案例，以说明超声医学成像设备良好管理的重要性。文中指出了与大量不同用户和设备相关的问题。基于25年多来支持1000多个系统所积累的经验，讨论了医学物理专家和终端用户为何以及应如何对超声系统进行测试。在专业指导的背景下介绍了该过程的管理，并考虑了监测组织的标准，以给出建议的最佳实践。
