Rezensionen

"This book provides valuable insights, ideas and incentives for radiology service improvements and, as such, may be considered a useful reference for those contemplating the radiology accreditation scheme ISAS defining quality and key performance indicators in radiology. It also provides a useful insight into potential quality improvements of the future, specifically in reporting (new tools) and education (new content)." (Peter Hiles, RAD Magazine, July, 2019)
