بررسی عملکرد تکنیکی، حفاظتی و فنی پرتونگاران بیمارستان های دانشگاه علوم پزشکی مازندران

Background and Purpose: Radiology unit has an important role in the diagnosis of many disorders, along with providing suitable and high quality pictures. A good picture is provided using a correct technical criteria and suitable circumstance of patient. Finally, operation and knowledge of radiology personnels directly has a primary role in the determination of radiography quality. Materials and Methods: This study was done in order to determine personnel operation in the units of hospitals radiologist, related to Universities of Mazandaran Medical Science.

All of the 73 personnels of the radiology unit related to Mazandaran Medical Science were studied. 35 operations (in technical, protective and technological fields), in any of personnel in three distinct shifts were observed and recorded. All of them were tested about these three fields with 40 questions. Results: The total obtained scores from personnels in technical part in the morning, evening and night shift were 66.4, 53.9 and 60.2 percents. Recived scores from personnels in protective fields were 68.1, 59.5 and 60.2 percents, while recived scores from personnels in Technological operation fields were 47.8, 39.95 and 43.65 percents. Comparison of these three scores in technical, protective and Technological operation fields showed a meaningful difference (p<0.05). Conclusion: The total quality of personnels operations were nearly desirable and in need of continuous education, supervision and evaluation. Emphasizing protection to beams, accessibility of necessary tools and continuous supervision regarding usage of these equipments and respecting other security points have important role in reducing patients absorbed doses.
