Overview
Radiology has been transformed by new imaging advances and a greater demand for imaging, along with a much lower tolerance for error as part of the Quality & Safety revolution in healthcare. With a greater emphasis on patient safety and quality in imaging practice, imaging specialists are increasingly charged with ensuring patient safety and demonstrating that everything done for patients in their care meets the highest quality and safety standards. This book offers practical guidance on understanding, creating, and implementing quality management programs in Radiology. Chapters are comprehensive, detailed, and organized into three sections: Core Concepts, Management Concepts, and Educational & Special Concepts. Discussions are applicable to all practice settings: community hospitals, private practice, academic radiology, and government/military practice, as well as to those preparing for the quality and safety questions on the American Board of Radiology's ""Maintenance of Certification"" or initial Board Certification Examinations. Bringing together the various elements that comprise the quality and safety agenda for Radiology, this book serves as a thorough roadmap and resource for radiologists, technicians, and radiology managers and administrators.

Reviews
Quality and Safety in Radiology is a very timely and well-planned book discussing the latest topics in an ever-increasingly important subsegment of radiology--quality and safety issues. In their excellent book, co-editors Hani H. Abujedeh and Michael A. Bruno discuss a variety of current topics that collectively comprise the arguably budding but important field of radiology quality and safety. The two editors--along with 47 nationally and internationally recognized experts--have created an up-to-date, easy-to-reference textbook covering a wide spectrum of quality and patient safety issues as they apply to diagnostic imaging. The goal of the authors was to create a reference text covering the essentials of quality and safety specifically geared to diagnostic radiology. The authors have brilliantly accomplished their goal with this well-organized and easy-to-read book. This excellent book is well priced; I highly recommend [it]. -Robert D. Stoffey, Radiology
