Radiology Incharge

**As the chief radiological compliance officer of the institution, the RSO oversees the quality assurance program for medical imaging equipment. As such, when regulators inspect the facility the RSO will be held to account for any findings or violations. Therefore, while not directly responsible for performance evaluations, the RSO should audit the program to ensure that they were performed on time and in compliance with regulations, standards, and best practices. The RSO should have the authority to remove from service any equipment that is a radiological safety hazard to patients, staff, or the public. This will ensure the equipment is functioning as designed and will not overexpose patients or staff.

The RSO is also responsible for overseeing the training in radiation safety that is mandated by many regulatory agencies. Training should include
- Awareness of the magnitude of the radiation dose delivered by imaging equipment
- Location of scattered radiation around the patient and in the imaging suite;
- Features of imaging equipment, particularly fluoroscopy units, whose use may reduce patient exposure
- Requirements for monitoring radiation dose to staff and use of personal protective equipment when appropriate
- Policies and procedures relevant to equipment selection and use.

However, this is the minimum expected of the RSO. As an advocate for patient safety, the RSO should proactively seek out ways to optimize processes to reduce patient dose.
