RESUMO
An analysis and evaluation has been carried out on each test parameter contained in the compliance test of 1016 stationary and 480 mobile radiography devices compiled by the Indonesian Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency (Badan Pengawas Tenaga Nuklir, BAPETEN) from 2019 to 2020. The data were categorised and analysed based on the devices' age to observe the correlation of performance with the age of the X-ray machine. In addition, the implementation level of the Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) system test of the stationary radiography X-ray modality is also reviewed. The results of the evaluation showed that 89.9% of the stationary radiography devices unconditionally pass the test, 5.2% are in the status of 'conditional pass' and 4.9% fail the test. On the other hand, 84.8% of mobile radiography devices unconditionally pass the test, 2.1% are in the status of 'conditional pass' and 13.1% fail the test. From the evaluation conducted, there is no observable correlation between the age of the modality and the results of the compliance test. Overall, only 9.2% of stationary radiography X-ray compliance test reports have included the AEC test since it is not a mandatory requirement of the national protocol.
