Case: Roles & Responsibilities for QA

A 55-year-old male patient is scheduled for a CT scan of the abdomen due to persistent abdominal pain. During the scan, the radiologic technologist notices that the images appear unusually grainy and lack the expected contrast resolution. The technologist suspects an issue with the CT scanner calibration. Meanwhile, the imaging informatics professional receives an alert from the PACS system indicating a mismatch in the patient demographic data, potentially leading to misidentification of the images.
