Telemedicine Clinic has launched a 10,000-euro prize to promote quality initiatives within European radiology.
The first TMC Radiology Quality Award ceremony will take place in Vienna at ECR on 6-10 March.
Quality assurance systems and processes have not always kept pace with the rapid development within radiology, which could result in the less-than-optimal use of medical imaging, or even cause risks for patients, Telemedicine Clinic said.
By introducing this award, Telemedicine Clinic hopes to encourage more good examples of quality assurance initiatives.
The submission process for the award opened on 1 October and closes on 30 December. An international jury will review the submitted applications, and the winner will be invited to the award ceremony.
