Abstract

Ensuring a quality of diagnostic radiology along with increasing efficiency is a key task for healthcare system for both municipal medical facilities and private medicine. When a defective X-ray image is obtained, there is a need to re-conduct a examination, which in turn entails reputational, temporary and economic losses for a medical facility. Repeated examination makes an additional contribution to the patient’s radiation exposure also. The paper shows that for facilities providing telemedicine services, implementation of a clinical audit for diagnostic examinations using information technology is efficient. In 2022 2059 error x-ray images were identified applying a similar system, which is 0.084% of the total number of telemedicine radiology examinations. A collective effective dose due to defective examinations was 3,613 man-Sv, which is less than 0.11% of the total collective dose.
