QA and QC records include which statements? The records must include all QC tests on x-ray and ancillary equipment, written records must be maintained for seven years, and records must be available for review by all agents of the RHB. Which statements are correct?

• A. 1 and 2
• B. 1 and 3
• C. 2 and 3
• D. 1, 2, and 3

Answer: (B)

QA and QC records must show that every quality check on the x‑ray system and its accessories has been performed, so there’s a traceable history proving the equipment meets performance standards over time. This documentation is essential for verifying safe operation, diagnosing issues, and demonstrating consistent image quality.

They also need to be accessible to the Radiation Health Board (or equivalent regulatory body) for review. Regulators rely on these records to confirm that testing is current and that the facility is meeting safety and performance requirements.

The statement about keeping written records for seven years isn’t part of this set of requirements in this context, so it’s not included in the correct combination. Retention periods can vary by jurisdiction, but for this item the focus is on having complete QC test documentation and making it available to regulators.
