dc.description.abstract Photographic Quality Assurance is an important element of the quality assurance programs as applied in medical diagnostic imaging centers. This thesis addresses the problem of optimizing image quality in Turkey with respect to X-ray film management procedures. First a sensitometric study has been conducted in 32 diagnostic centers in Istanbul. in order to find out the major problems encountered in darkrooms and processors. Then a quality assurance prograrnme has been implemented in a private clinic for a period of one month. Both studies indicate a need for quality assurance programmes in Turkey in order to increase diagnostic image quality and decrease unnecessary radiation dose to the patient. Film purchasing policy in Turkey and its potential effects on film quality have also been discussed in this thesis.
