About the Book:

This WHO Workbook on Diagnostic Imaging is part of a series designed to provide practical and technical support to medical and technical personnel working with diagnostic imaging equipment, especially in small and mid-size hospitals. It has been developed by a working group from the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT) on behalf of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Steering Group for Education and Training in Diagnostic Imaging.

The primary goal of the Global Steering Group for Education and Training in Diagnostic Imaging is to support countries in improving their diagnostic imaging services, ensuring they are an integrated part of their national health systems.

This workbook serves as a practical guide for staff responsible for radiographic equipment, particularly in remote institutions that may lack access to technical support. It focuses on helping staff perform routine maintenance and minor repairs to prevent breakdowns. While the book is intended for use alongside workshops as a practical workbook, it is also suitable for self-study and can be used as a checklist for routine maintenance procedures.

The workbook provides essential information to assist staff in maintaining diagnostic imaging equipment in low-resource settings, ensuring continuous and effective medical imaging services.
