Abstract
Recent topics on quality assurance (QA) of X-ray diagnosis in Japan were reported in this presentation. These were related to mass screening mammography (MMG), lung screening CT (LSCT), skin injury caused by interventional radiology (IVR) and traceable system of dosimeters for x-ray diagnosis. In these successful stories, the author would like to stress the cooperation of all the medical am: clinical staff including medical doctors, radiological technologists, medical physicists, manufacturers of medical devices and others.
