Resumen
The discovery of X-rays makes it possible to obtain images for diagnostic purposes; However, since they are ionizing radiation, the benefit can go hand in hand with a detriment to the health of the patient and the personnel in charge of administering them, which requires implementing mechanisms to reduce the radiation dose, maintaining image quality and limiting the risks to occupationally exposed workers and the public visiting the facility. The strategies adopted by the radiodiagnosis center must be articulated through a quality assurance program, its implementation within the framework of national and international standards guarantees its success; In response to this need, this text presents the fundamentals of the use of X-rays in radiodiagnosis and a quality assurance program, the latter accompanied by protocols that can be implemented in medical institutions.
