Foqal Radiography – Optimize Image Quality and Reduce Exposure
What is Foqal Radiography by Qaelum?
Foqal Radiography is a vendor-neutral software module developed by Qaelum to optimize the quality of radiographic imaging. It offers integrated analytics on exposure index (EI), deviation index (DI), and reject rate, empowering healthcare providers to enhance image quality, reduce patient exposure, and support quality assurance programs.
What quality metrics does Foqal Radiography analyze?
The software monitors and analyzes exposure index (EI), deviation index (DI), and image reject rates. These metrics help identify protocol inconsistencies, detect over- or under-exposed images, and track operator performance across different systems and vendors.
How does it help reduce unnecessary exposures?
By evaluating trends and deviations in exposure parameters, Foqal Radiography helps radiology departments detect and correct improper protocols or user errors. This directly contributes to minimizing repeat exams and unnecessary radiation doses, improving both safety and efficiency.
Can the tool support reject analysis?
Yes. The module includes detailed reject rate analytics, allowing departments to identify high-reject areas, assess reasons for image rejection, and compare performance across operators and systems. This promotes targeted training, protocol adjustments, and workflow optimization.
Is it suitable for multi-vendor environments?
Absolutely. Foqal Radiography is vendor-neutral and designed to operate across diverse imaging systems. This allows healthcare facilities to standardize quality monitoring and reporting across different radiography machines and manufacturers.
