Abstract:
The leaders of a radiology department started a quality process based on ISO 9001 certification and the total quality management program. The purpose of this work is to match the conformity of this quality system to ANAES recommendations. If the concordance is obvious, the advantages of using quality insurance to get an accreditation are important. In conclusion, a quality process is proposed, it includes a quality insurance manual of ISO 9001 norm, the total quality management in the first point of the norm and the ANAES recommendations spread over the 20 points of the norm.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
