By A Customer

This review is from: Quality Management in the Imaging Sciences (Hardcover)

I am an instructor for a Radiography program and am currently studyings to take my ARRT Q.M. examination. This is the only book I recommend for quallity management. The others tend to be confusing and vague. Well worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Quality tools, April 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Quality Management in the Imaging Sciences (Hardcover)

Having used this book in my clinical teaching, I find it the best in it's class where quality management programmes are used. The methodologies and tests are almost complete in most areas of radiography equipment. Every radiography manager should get a copy of this book to be aware of quality issues that pertain to the whole running of an X-ray dept, from the equipment to the procesing fundamentals.

Definitely a good buy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good QA but weak in QM/CQM/TQI, January 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Quality Management in the Imaging Sciences (Hardcover)

This is by far the best book on the market dealing with radiology QA. It is well written, easy to follow, and give the current criteria.

The major weakness of this book is that it claims to be about "Quality Management" but it is not. The one and only chapter on this is almost worse than none at all. If the book was retitled "Quality Assurance in the Imaging Science", I would give it five stars.
