[What is "quality management"?].

Abstract

According to the EN DIN ISO norms measures of quality planning, quality control, quality assurance and quality improvement define a comprehensive quality management. These international norms may solve the recent confusion of terms in Germany. The trend in quality assuring measures clearly shows in the direction of quality audits, but we believe that too much control is contra-productive. Benefits may be expected by the implementation of comprehensive quality management systems, appropriate techniques of benchmarking, practical guidelines and certifications of surgical departments with good quality management systems.

[Whole body MRI--diagnostic strategy of the future?].

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) opens new opportunities in diagnostic radiology as systemic disease entities can be examined with high sensitivity. This can lead to a change of paradigm, so that not only organ-related but rather disease-specific MRI examination protocols can be applied which focus on the underlying pathophysiology of the disease. Whole body MRI has already been successfully used for several oncological and non-oncological indications. In addition, whole body MRI has broadened the discussion regarding its use for secondary prevention. Compared to computed tomography, MRI does not use radiation. Although whole body MRI is still in an early stage, the enormous medical and economical potential can be envisioned.
