| Popis: | The increasing cost and complexity of state-of-the-art radiological equipment, and the need for more comprehensive safety and performance assurance, have increased maintenance expenditures to a level where they have become one of the largest operating expenses of radiology departments. To cope with this ever increasing expenditure, a comprehensive in-house maintenance program was implemented in our institution. This program properly balanced the capability of the radiology department's in-house technical personnel with support provided by equipment manufacturers' service organizations. Quality assurance activities are also included as an integral part of the entire program. Since the implementation of the program, an average 40% reduction in the annual maintenance expenditure has been observed. |
