Quality Control01:05

Quality Control

2.0K
Quality control is one of the three cyclical quality assurance activities that help keep a system under statistical control. Typical quality control activities include creating quality control charts, conducting proficiency testing, and documenting and archiving results.
Quality control helps track data, visualize trends, and identify variations, making it easier to detect deviations that may affect the accuracy of an analysis. One way to do this is by generating a quality control chart, which...

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Temperature

1.1K
Heat is a widely used method to control microbial growth by targeting and denaturing cellular proteins, thereby killing or inactivating microbes. This method's effectiveness is quantified using parameters such as the thermal death point (TDP), thermal death time (TDT), and decimal reduction time (D value). TDP represents the lowest temperature at which all microorganisms in a liquid suspension are eliminated within 10 minutes, whereas TDT is the time necessary to achieve sterilization at a...

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Radiation and Filtration

1.1K
Radiation and filtration are essential tools for microbial control, targeting microorganisms through distinct mechanisms. Radiation eliminates microbes by damaging their DNA, either killing them or inhibiting their growth. Based on wavelength, radiation is classified into two types: nonionizing and ionizing radiation.Non-ionizing radiation, such as UV radiation (200–400 nm), is absorbed by DNA, causing defects that effectively disinfect surfaces, air, and water, including safety cabinets.

Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

568
Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key...

Tensile Strength Considerations of Concrete

543
Considering the tensile strength of concrete involves recognizing that the theoretical strength of cement paste can be up to a thousand times higher than what is observed in practical applications. This significant discrepancy is largely attributed to the presence of microscopic cracks within the concrete. These cracks tend to amplify stress at their tips when a load is applied, a phenomenon explained by Griffith's theory of brittle fracture.
The dimensions and shape of a concrete specimen...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiology
  • Breast Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) is increasingly adopted in clinical practice.
  • Radiologists need specialized knowledge beyond standard full-field digital mammography (FFDM).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the essential principles of image acquisition, artifacts, and quality control (QC) specific to DBT.
  • To emphasize the importance of training and certification for DBT personnel.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of standard FFDM parameters and DBT-specific parameters like tube motion, sweep angle, and projection number.
  • Identification of common DBT artifacts, including blurring-ripple, truncation, and motion artifacts.
  • Emphasis on regular QC for maintaining image quality and minimizing radiation dose (ALARA).

Main Results:

  • DBT acquisition parameters (tube motion, sweep angle, projections) directly impact image resolution (z-axis and x-y axis).
  • Specific artifacts like blurring-ripple and motion artifacts present unique challenges in DBT interpretation.
  • Separate certification for DBT facilities and mandatory training for all personnel are required.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding DBT-specific acquisition parameters and artifacts is crucial for accurate interpretation.
  • Adherence to QC protocols ensures optimal image quality and patient safety.
  • Mandatory training and certification underscore DBT's status as a distinct imaging modality.
