- Abstract
- The purpose of health screening is to reduce disease-related mortality and related medical costs through the early detection and treatment of specific diseases. However, if the quality of public health screening is poor, it not only fails to achieve the purpose of screening, but may also increase the demand for expensive individual opportunistic health examinations. To prevent these adverse situations, the Basic Act for Health Screening was established in 2010, and quality assessment of medical institutions for cancer screening has been performed from 2008. Radiologists have an integral role in radiologic examinations for screening; thus the Korean Society for Radiology has made a substantial effort to participate in quality control and improvement of the imaging quality for public health screening.
