Frequently Asked Questions About Imaging Equipment Testing and Performance Surveys
How often should you get imaging equipment testing?

The frequency of imaging equipment testing depends on state regulations, accreditation standards, and manufacturer recommendations. Many imaging facilities schedule annual performance surveys, but some equipment may require additional testing after installation, relocation, or major servicing.

When does an imaging facility need a performance survey?

Facilities typically need a performance survey to meet regulatory requirements, maintain accreditation, or verify equipment performance after installation or repair. Surveys may also be required following equipment relocation or when significant changes occur in imaging protocols.

What are the benefits of imaging equipment testing and performance surveys?

Imaging equipment testing helps confirm that systems are producing reliable diagnostic images while meeting safety standards. Performance surveys also identify potential issues early, allowing facilities to address calibration or performance concerns before they affect patient care or regulatory compliance.

What types of imaging equipment require performance testing?

A wide range of diagnostic imaging systems require regular performance testing. This commonly includes X-ray systems, mammography equipment, CT scanners, MRI systems, fluoroscopy units, nuclear medicine cameras, PET scanners, and associated imaging workstations.

Are imaging equipment performance surveys required by law?

In many cases, yes. State regulations and accreditation organizations require periodic testing to verify that imaging equipment meets safety and performance standards. The exact requirements vary by modality and jurisdiction, which is why working with experienced medical physicists is essential.

What happens if equipment fails a performance survey?

If equipment fails to meet performance criteria, corrective actions are recommended to restore proper function. These actions may include recalibration, additional testing, service from the equipment manufacturer, or adjustments to imaging protocols to ensure compliance and image quality.
