Padi Webinar: Certification and Quality Control in Diagnostic Imaging: From Regulation to Excellence

The PADI Webinar: Certification and Quality Control in Diagnostic Imaging: From Regulation to Excellence, aims to associate the processes of quality certification of diagnostic imaging equipment in terms of current health legislation. Based on ANVISA's regulatory framework, PADI's certification of excellence processes will be discussed. The main quality control simulators will be presented, as well as the parameters of quality control tests for equipment (Tomography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Digital Mammography, Digital X-Ray, Fluoroscopy, B-Mode/Doppler and Monitors), the possibilities for interfacing between regulatory processes and the gains from quality certification. To contextualize the issues of quality versus certification, brief case studies will be presented on how to optimize radiation doses to patients and how to prepare for a PADI audit. The virtual presentation is aimed at radiologists, quality auditors, medical physicists, biomedical professionals, technologists, nursing professionals and health officials.
