Abstract
Radiology is an indispensable substrate of present day Healthcare, and its expansion is rampant. The division of Radiology Imaging, is subjected to throw its spotlights in keeping the patient care and safety with highest probable benchmarks, that commences from the minute of a supplication being demanded, all along the process of routine, until the complete detail of the imaging be furnished. As such, this inevitable need towards patient safety unlashes this paper to summarize the values through which an organisation is checked of its safety protocols, with alternate elevated options if any defects found in the present system, that further extends by charting the satisfactory level of patients who assessed the service priorly for the betterment of future patients. The study deals with quantitative accumulation of source, by spreading out to patients a structured questionnaire, using convenience sampling method. In conclusion, patient safety in radiology is a dynamite issue that encapsulates Progressive research, Interdependence, and ceaseless up gradation.
