U-QAS Workflow
Ultrasound Quality Assurance Process
Step 1: Image Upload & Standardization
- All participant images are uploaded to the Image Transfer System (ITS).
- ITS automatically renames each image according to predefined format i.e. SiteCode_Scan_Parameter_Label_image_name
Step 2: Random Image Selection
- ITS is seamlessly integrated with U-QAS, enabling automatic retrieval of data.
- U-QAS randomly selects 20% of participants from the selected review period.
- All ultrasound images associated with the selected participants are forwarded through the quality review workflow.
Step 3: Reviewer Scoring
- Reviewers score each images and score YES(1)/NO(0).
- Incorrect images are flagged and returned for re-upload.
- All Valid scores are confirmed by the reviewer at the end of reviewing activity.
Step 4: Clinical Analysis
- A score summary sheet is generated.
- The clinical team analyses the results.
- Ensures consistency, monitoring and audit readiness.
