[PC-assisted network for quality control in film development].

Measuring of the daily performance of the film processing system by sensitometry is an important part of quality assurance in radiologic imaging. Computer-assisted evaluation of the measurements may be useful, especially in large hospitals with numerous image processors to be tested. We present a PC-based quality assurance network which was implemented at the University Hospital in Innsbruck in 1994. Direct data transfer from the evaluation stations to the technical service center of the hospital facilitated problem solving and resulted in a significant decrease of loss of time due to technical failures. An expansion of the network to outside institutions is planned for the future.
