The Quality of Dental Radiography in the Czech Republic - Results of a TLD and Film Postal Audit

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Since 2002, the postal audit in dental radiography has been supplementing standard quality control (QC) tools for dental intraoral X-ray machines. An aim of the audit is to check basic X-ray machine parameters (field size, exposure reproducibility), anda quality of the whole process of diagnostic imaging (entrance surface air-kerma measurement, a check of film processing and an image quality evaluation). The standard QC tests, performed by private companies, check mainly the X-ray unit. Conversely, theaudit gives better information about the patient examination practices. During the period of January 2002 to May 2004 about 4000 audits were performed. The results confirmed that main problems in dental radiography are due to incorrect film processing,non-optimised setting of the exposure parameters and use of obsolete X-ray machines. Only about 30 % of performed audits were satisfactory with respect to all checked parameters.
