Radiology is an important auxiliary examination department in a hospital. In the construction of modern hospitals, radiology is a department that integrates examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Many diseases in clinical departments must be diagnosed and assisted by radiology equipment inspection.

Radiology equipment generally includes ordinary X-ray film machines, computer X-rays

The method of radiological diagnosis is medical image analysis.

With the continuous updating of radiological equipment and the expansion of inspection content, the medical imaging (radiology) department must implement overall management and unified management of various imaging equipment and diagnostic business content, that is: traditional X-ray, CT, MR, intervention, all in the department The director works under the unified leadership and management. Different business technologies can be divided into three groups, namely: diagnosis group; technical group; medical assistant group. Achieve a clear division of labor, responsibilities, and medical, technical, and auxiliary functions.

The diagnosis group is composed of diagnostic personnel at all levels; the technical group is composed of technical and physical mechanical personnel at all levels; the medical assistant group is composed of nurses, registration and image data storage personnel.

Under the unified management of the head of the department, the staff of the diagnosis and treatment group and the technical group implement "relatively fixed and regular rotation" on each image content (traditional X-ray, CT, MR, intervention), in order to facilitate the comprehensive mastery of professional technology and personnel training to achieve imaging The goal of "one specialist and multiple capabilities". The conditions for the rotation of diagnosis and technical staff: rotating CT must have more than 2 years of traditional X-ray practice; rotating MR must have more than 2 years of CT practice; rotating interventional therapy must be based on traditional X-ray diagnostic practice for more than 2 years In the past, they have received prior knowledge training.

1. Undertake routine outpatient and inpatient routine X-rays, special radiographic examinations and CT, MR examinations; carry out interventional radiological diagnosis and treatment to meet clinical requirements for examination and ensure the accuracy of inspection and diagnosis and treatment.

2. Undertake radiological inspection tasks for health, physical examination and rescue.

3. To undertake clinical diagnosis consultations inside and outside the hospital and accept technical inspections and consultations required by lower-level hospitals.

Radiology department has always been a traditional essential department of general hospitals, and has made great contributions to the hospital's medical research and teaching work. With the organic combination of computer technology, modern physics, electronics and traditional radiology, modern radiology has been equipped with high-tech wings, and radiology has shown new vitality in the medical field and its position in diagnosis and treatment. More and more irreplaceable. For example, in the provincial and municipal key clinical specialty evaluations, cardiovascular angiography must be performed in cardiology, cerebral angiography and embolization must be performed in brain surgery, hepatic angiography must be performed in consumer medicine, bronchial angiography must be performed in internal medicine, and ERCP must be used in general surgery. Indispensable interventional treatment for oncology, and C-arm percutaneous renal perforating ballistic lithotripsy for upper urinary calculi in the Department of Urology, these items need to be completed or participated directly by radiologists. If these items are not available, in the provinces and cities This item does not score in the review of major clinical key specialists. No department other than the laboratory has such a pivotal position in the construction of key clinical specialists. The role of radiology in clinical diagnosis and treatment is obvious.

I. Patients who need to do fluoroscopy and photographs need to pay the fee directly to the toll office with the X-ray examination application form issued by the clinician.

2. After undergoing payment procedures for patients undergoing various examinations, please wait in order in the waiting room of the radiology department in order.

3. In order for your inspection and diagnosis to proceed smoothly, you must remove all clothing and accessories that may affect the diagnosis before the inspection. Cooperate with the physician carefully during the examination and inform the physician of the detailed condition and medical history.

4. After the inspection, please wait for the doctor to issue a diagnosis report in the waiting corridor. Do not chat with the doctor and avoid disturbing the doctor's thinking and writing the report.

5. After getting the film and diagnosis report, save the inspection report and bring it at the next inspection for comparison and reference.

6. X-ray films shall not be taken away from patients who have filed for registration at the undergraduate level. If it is necessary for diagnosis and treatment in a foreign hospital, you need to go through the borrowing procedure and pay a deposit. The deposit will be returned when the X-ray film is returned. Take care that the film is not contaminated or damaged.

According to the relevant regulations issued by the State Council on radiation protection, "When using radioisotopes or radiation to diagnose, treat, or examine subjects and patients, they must strictly control exposure and quantity to avoid unnecessary exposure."

1. For patients who come to the radiology department for examination, please sit in the corridor and wait for the examination. Don't squeeze into the entrance of the examination room, let alone enter the waiting room, to prevent the ionized air from harming you.

2. When the radiology room is working, the protective door is closed, and the red light on the door is turned on. At this time, the room is being exposed. Please do not push the door directly to prevent the radiation from leaking into the corridor to you and other patients. Cause unnecessary harm.

3. For infants and young children, pregnant women (especially within the first three months of pregnancy), and those with fertility, X-ray examination of the lower abdomen and gonads must be performed carefully. When an X-ray examination is necessary, the principle of "mainly filming" should also be adopted to try to shoot. During the inspection, try to take necessary protection.

4. Children and pregnant women should try to avoid X-ray exposure during the test. If an inspection is necessary, please explain the situation with the imaging technician. The technician should cover the lower abdomen of the patient with a lead coat to prevent the gonad and fetus from receiving too much. Rays.

5. For the non-licensed part of the subject, it is necessary to cooperate with medical personnel to wear lead rubber protective equipment.

6. When seeing and filming, do not stay in the X-ray examination room to avoid exposure. When it is necessary to accompany the person to support the subject, they should also wear protective equipment to avoid exposure. It is strictly forbidden for pregnant women and young people under the age of 18 to support the examinees.

7. Any patient examined has the right to require radiation protection. The radiology department has lead protective equipment, such as lead caps, lead bibs, lead apron and lead clothing, which patients can use unconditionally. Using these lead protection products can effectively protect the fetus, gonads, thyroid gland and eyes.

8. After taking the radiograph, the patient can leave the radiology department immediately after receiving the examination results. Patients after taking the film, please wait in the corridor to report the results. It is relatively safe to stay away from the examination room.

Nine, when the radiologist needs to expose the human body during the examination of the patient, he must inform me in advance.

Check. For the human body parts that must be exposed, when examining female patients, when it is necessary to expose the chest and abdomen, a family member or a second woman must be present.

10. If the patient or family member asks for privacy protection, the radiology staff has the responsibility and obligation to support it.

XI. Every staff member of the radiology department is obliged to publicize the radiation protection knowledge to the patients and inform the patients that the radiation may affect the health.

XII. Patients have the right to ask questions and ask for answers when they have doubts and do not understand the examination and requirements of radiology staff.

13. Every patient and family member who comes to the clinic for examination has the right to choose and complain.
