Medical imaging is a crucial component of healthcare, encompassing various techniques that provide essential insights into the body's internal structures and functions for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Government agencies like the FDA and NRC, along with accreditation bodies such as The Joint Commission and ACR, rigorously regulate medical imaging practices to ensure patient safety and high-quality care. These regulations encompass equipment safety, quality control, radiation protection, and staff training, with certified medical physicists and technologists playing key roles. Continuous quality assessment, adherence to safety principles, and swift response to safety alerts are integral in maintaining compliance. Medical imaging's stringent oversight guarantees patient welfare and optimal healthcare outcomes, all while upholding the principles of radiation safety through the expertise of health physicists and the vigilance of Radiation Safety Officers.
