Tuohy, G. Tuohy, P. Cooney, B. Moran, J.F. Malone] The importance of quality assurance of X ray equipment in diagnostic imaging departments is well recognised. However, practically no attention in the literature has been paid to the application of QA programmes to mobile radiographic equipment. This equipment is often omitted from quality assurance programmes because it is off-site from the main radiological facility. Application of QA programmes is also important in the case of mobile X ray equipment where optimisation of image quality and reduction of radiation exposure to the patient is desired. In view of the above a QA survey of 12 mobile X ray machines was undertaken. The study concentrated on the pattern of their use, radiation, mechanical and electrical safety aspects. The results of these surveys are reported and aspects which could be relevant to patient radiation exposure and image quality are highlighted.
