The importance of clinical audit in radiological practice is increasingly recognised and undertaking clinical audit "in accordance with national procedures" is mandatory for radiology departments within the European Union following implementation of the Basic Safety Standard Directive (BSSD), 2013/59/Euratom in 2018.This survey, sent to all National Radiological Societies in Europe in 2018, evaluated the current status of clinical audit at national level and supporting infrastructure, and explored the potential for wider co-operation and collaboration in developing and evaluating clinical audit processes.Responses were received from 36/47 (76.6%) National Societies. Broadly responses indicated an increasing awareness of the importance of clinical audit, but highlighted deficiencies in necessary infrastructure and resources required for enhancement and development of existing clinical audit systems. National Societies are well placed, in the context of appropriate and prioritised resource allocation, to collaborate with other European bodies, in particular the European Society of Radiology (ESR), to help lead on these important changes, with the potential to provide external direction.
临床审计在放射学实践中的重要性日益得到认可，自2018年《基本安全标准指令》（BSSD，2013/59/Euratom）实施以来，欧盟内部的放射科必须“按照国家程序”进行临床审计。2018年，这项调查发送给了欧洲所有国家放射学会，评估了国家层面临床审计的现状和支持性基础设施，并探讨了在开发和评估临床审计流程方面开展更广泛合作的可能性。收到了47个国家学会中36个（76.6%）的回复。总体而言，回复表明对临床审计重要性的认识在不断提高，但也突出了现有临床审计系统加强和发展所需的必要基础设施和资源方面的不足。在适当且资源分配合理的情况下，国家学会有能力与其他欧洲机构合作，特别是与欧洲放射学会（ESR）合作，帮助引领这些重要变革，并有可能提供外部指导。
