QA and QC records shall be available for review by which group?

• A. All agents of the RHB
• B. Hospital administration
• C. Patients
• D. Equipment vendors

Answer: (A)

QA and QC records are documentation of how the imaging program maintains safety and performance. They must be available for review by those authorized to enforce radiation safety and quality standards—the agents of the regulatory body (the RHB). This access allows inspectors or auditors to verify that equipment is calibrated, operated within specifications, and that corrective actions are taken when needed, ensuring patient and staff safety. Patients typically aren’t privy to technical QA/QC data, and while hospital administration may review performance for internal governance, they do not represent the regulatory review authority. Vendors may access records only for service under specific agreements, not for routine oversight.
