• Titulo Artículo: Worldwide Implementation of Radiology Quality and Safety Programs
• Resumen: Over the past few decades, the utilization and availability of biomedical imaging have drastically increased, leading to better patient care worldwide [1] . At the same time, increased attention has been paid to the potential adverse effects of biomedical ionizing radiation exposure. In many countries, increasing demand for imaging studies coupled with a duty to minimize radiation exposure has created new challenges and responsibilities for radiologists. The international radiology community has identified and implemented innovative programs and initiatives to promote more appropriate use, maximize the benefits, and minimize the risks of radiologic procedures 12345 . National and societal guidance tools have been produced with the aim of improving appropriate use, quality, and safety of radiologic studies as well as reducing the number of unnecessary studies performed. Programs aimed at educating referring providers, such as clinical decision support and referral guidelines, have shown promise in decreasing duplicate and unnecessary studies [2] . Radiology quality, radiation safety, incident reporting, and accreditation programs are designed to ensure that radiology departments adhere to best practices. Meanwhile, programs and training in dose optimization and the availability of diagnostic reference level (DRL) data allow radiology providers to lower the patient dose from examinations and compare their performance with that of their peers [3] . Additionally, an increasing number of countries are participating in the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) surveys, which gather data and release periodic reports on utilization and exposure to radiation from biomedical imaging procedures. Professional societies, regulatory authorities, health ministries, and United Nations agencies, such as the World Health Organization and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), collaborate and play unique roles in the development and implementation of improvement actions. For example, the IAEA also has a number of initiatives aimed at reducing medical radiation exposure, including programs in mammography, conventional radiography, and CT dose reduction 456 . Although several well-publicized initiatives by the ACR, RSNA, and other organizations, including Image Wisely ® , Image Gently ® , and the ACR Appropriateness Criteria 78910 , are likely familiar to radiologists within North America, there are few available compiled data on the prevalence and role of similar programs throughout the world. In this study, we aim to summarize the worldwide breadth and use of quality and safety programs.
