Objective:
to know the contributions of nursing in the implementation of the quality management principle of the accreditation program in imaging diagnosis.
Methods:
a single, qualitative case study carried out in an accredited radiology and imaging diagnosis service. The data collection took place through semi-structured interviews, direct observation, and documentary analysis with the support of software in organizing the data for analysis.
Results:
a total of four thematic units emerged: the accreditation process in imaging services, the implementation of the program, the role of nursing in imaging services and patient safety and the management of non-conformities in imaging services. Of the other data sources, the word risk was highlighted and a non-conformity was evidenced in the external audit.
Final Considerations:
nursing contributed mainly to the management of the risks involved in the performance of imaging and patient safety tests, requirements of the quality management principle of the accreditation program.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

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...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
01:20Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
