Abstract		Radiation protection and the quality control have become very important in our vocation. The level of our education is unique in medical profession and very widely based. The radiographers are the experts being in daily contact with radiation, either in the process of diagnosing or treatment. We are aware of the consequences of radiation overexposure. Therefore we do not see the damaged part of a human body as an object exposed to radiation, we treat a human being as a whole, with respect to all ethical and moral principles, as well as those connected with the radiation protection. The quality of our work is shown in the following way: the check-up and later on the treatment must follow the rule of optimality, i.e. a patient must be exposed to the minimal and yet still effective quantities of radiation. The exposed part therefore receives the optimal radiation dose, while healthy tissues in the surroundings are exposed as little as possible. The primary goal of the analysis and systemization of the reasons of re-exposures is to obtain data and knowledge needed to set up a system that prevents the same mistakes from happening again and again. The patients are no longer exposed to the radiation if not necessary; the quality of images is much higher, we gain more approval from the side of professional and broader public, and last but not least, the costs can also be cut down due to fewer unnecessary repetitions of the check-ups.
