The developed methodology has been used for two years in clinical routine, where CT technologists perform daily scans of the manufacturer's QA phantom and automatically send the images to MonitorCT for KPI evaluation. A report published in 2019 by the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) shows that there has been a reduction of 15–20% in medical radiation doses from diagnostic imaging and image -guided procedures between 2006 The concept of 'diagnostic reference levels' as an aid to the optimisation of medical exposures is described, and progress in implementing them in the UK is reported.

Overall, half (50.0%) of the respondents are unaware of the availability of standard operating procedures, 28 (77.7%) reported imaging machines are not always functional, 34 (94.5%) reported lack of adherence to equipment servicing practices, and 27 (75%) agreed that broken-down equipment are left for more than 3 months before being fixed. This study, therefore, sought to identify barriers to quality care in medical imaging at a teaching hospital to provide evidence that will enable optimization of care and in improving the overall medical imaging care delivery system.
