The QuADRANT project: Enhancing quality and safety in radiological procedures through clinical audit

The QuADRANT project successfully provided a comprehensive overview of clinical audit practices in radiological procedures throughout Europe, identifying both achievements and substantial shortcomings. It underscored the critical need for strengthening national infrastructure, increasing resource allocation, and elevating the prioritisation of clinical audit. The project outcomes were published by the European Commission as part of Radiation Protection Series. Furthermore, the project's insights were instrumental in shaping the European Commission's recommendations on clinical audits establishing a crucial framework for harmonizing national clinical audit systems. The ongoing impact of the project is evident in subsequent initiatives like the Clinical Audit Implementation in Europe (CLAUD-IT) project on improving clinical audit practice in European Union member states radiological procedures.
