Cardiac imaging, as will be noted in Chap. 4, is a complex process which should benefit significantly from application of the quality cycle methodology. L. Tilkemeier As healthcare workers in the field of cardiac imaging, it is important to understand how each of these quality cycle tools can help to improve the quality within each of our facilities. Those that have had the greatest success in healthcare applications have been evaluated in greater depth and include: FOCUS-PDCA, LEAN, Six Sigma, FMEA and the Milestones models.
