Radiation protection in radiologic technology: apathy versus active involvement.

The lack of active participation in radiation protection is a serious problem in Radiologic Technology today. Underlying the problem is professional apathy. An overview of the historical changes, as well as various recent developments in radiology, accentuate the importance of necessary changes in technologists' attitudes and activities.

Colliding forces in radiology: technologic imperative, resource limitations, and accountability demands.

Advances in radiology over the past 20 years are the product of a technologic imperative that has produced new approaches to the acquisition of medical images and modifications to conventional approaches. The imperative has placed radiology at the leading edge of the computer-technology era of modern medicine and has also produced several big-ticket technologies that have been identified as major contributors to rising health care costs. Consequently, the demands for quantitative data on the impact and cost-effectiveness of the use of these technologies in the clinical arena are increasing. Meeting the growing demand for accountability in radiology requires that the discipline adopt innovative approaches for assessing its technologies and acquire new types of data, including documentation of cost savings accrued by selective use of radiologic technologies and demonstration of the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of triage schemes that lead to more effective decision making. The requirement of quantitative accountability represents a new way of doing business for radiology and a new approach to management for those responsible for business.

Role of a University Medical Center in the education of radiologic technologists: advanced education in radiologic technology.

The development of new and sophisticated imaging equipment, the rapidly changing medical diagnostic techniques, and larger and busier radiology departments put increasingly heavy demands on radiologic technologists. To cope with these demands, superficial knowledge and experience is not enough. The technologist who wished to advance on the career ladder must have more solid facts at his disposal and know how and when to use them if he is to perform efficiently and satisfactorily. The program described here provides a type of education that will permit the technologist to so advance with a feeling of security in the knowledge that he has the foundation needed to meet the challenges of his profession.
