Article Abstract

Purpose: Impatience contributes to incidents among radiological technologists, regardless of their years of experience. The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes and effects of impatience in the work of radiological technologists.

Methods: An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 148 questionnaire responses using a 5-item scale. The study focused on 26 items related to factors contributing to impatience and 11 items related to its impact on work.

Results: The analysis identified 3 factors contributing to impatience: "awareness of doctors and nurses working together," "awareness of patients," and "awareness of time." Additionally, 2 effects of impatience on work were identified: "lack of confirmation during examinations" and "lack of confirmation before and after examinations." Multiple regression analysis with the addition of years of experience showed that the lack of confirmation before and after the examination was influenced by shorter years of experience, as well as by a stronger awareness of doctors and nurses working together, and time. At the same time, the lack of confirmation during the examination was influenced by a stronger awareness of doctors and nurses working together.

Conclusion: This study clarified the factors that cause impatience in the work of radiological technologists and its influence on their work.

Purpose: The promotion of task-shifting and task-sharing to facilitate work style reform for physicians has enabled radiological technologists (RTs) to perform primary matching in image-guided radiotherapy. The purpose in this study is to evaluate the position matching accuracy of RTs and radiation oncologist (ROs).

Methods: Position matching was performed by four RTs and two ROs (RO-A and B).

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has become an essential tool in the evaluation of pediatric liver disease. However, the unique physiological, anatomical, and behavioral characteristics of pediatric patients present distinct challenges that necessitate tailored imaging strategies. These guidelines, developed by members of the Society for Pediatric Radiology (SPR) Magnetic Resonance and Abdominal Imaging Committees, provide comprehensive recommendations for performing high-quality liver MRI in children.

Introduction: Medical physicists play a critical role in ensuring image quality and patient safety, but their routine evaluations are limited in scope and frequency compared to the breadth of clinical imaging practices. An electronic radiologist feedback system can augment medical physics oversight for quality improvement. This work presents a novel quality feedback system integrated into the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) at a university hospital system, designed to facilitate feedback from radiologists to medical physicists and technologist leaders.

Objective: Reveal the changing rule of the positional relationship between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery by measuring the relevant parameters between the uncinate process of cervical spine and vertebral artery in different age groups.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1240 cases of cervical spine imaging data from 2018 to 2021 in the Radiology Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University. The distance between the uncinate process superior ridge and vertebral artery and the maximum of pedicle transverse angle, the minimum of pedicle transverse angle, the range of pedicle transverse angle and the pedicle width were measured according to age groups.
