The document discusses quality control procedures for x-ray imaging systems. It describes the purpose of quality control as achieving high quality images with minimal radiation exposure while ensuring patient and staff safety and legal compliance. The document then outlines the different stages of quality control checks for x-ray systems - critical examination, acceptance testing, commissioning, and routine performance testing. Key parameters that are checked during quality control include beam alignment and collimation, radiation output levels, total beam filtration, exposure timer accuracy, and leakage radiation. Radiation safety topics like pregnancy radiation risks and cancer risks are also summarized.
