To investigate the types and frequency of workplace violence experienced by radiologic technologists and to identify which technologists using specific imaging modalities are at increased risk. A mixed-methods approach was employed using a research electronic data capture (REDCap; Vanderbilt University) survey designed to establish information on r...
The most effective diagnostic methods in the medical field are diagnostic imaging techniques such as radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine, which are used to visualize internal body to diagnose it, determine potential treatment, and evaluate and forecast care results. Therefore, the purpose of...
Uvod: Medosebni odnosi v timu se kažejo kot vsakodnevne interakcije med zaposlenimi. Ti odnosi so lahko prijetni in ustvarjalni ali pa predstavljajo vir napetosti in frustracij. Naloga članov tima je, da stremijo h kvalitetnim medosebnim odnosom. Namen: Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti, kakšni so medosebni odnosi med radiološkimi inženirji v timu n...
Uvod: V diplomskem delu smo raziskovali princip mikrovalovne ablacije, kako jo izvajamo in kako celoten poseg poteka v Kliniki Golnik. Ob pregledu literature smo ugotovili, da je vloga radiološkega inženirja pri procesu skopo raziskana in nedefinirana, zato smo se odločili raziskati to področje. Zanimalo nas je predvsem, kakšna je vloga radiološkeg...
Uvod: Težave mišično–skeletnega sistema, nastale pri delu, predstavljajo velik poklicni problem med radiološkimi inženirji. Napačni načini dvigovanja in prestavljanja pacientov spadajo med glavne vzroke za omenjene težave, k dodatni obremenitvi pa pripomoreta še prisilna in nepravilna drža. Namen: Namen naše diplomske naloge je raziskati mišično–sk...

Although childhood exposure to ionizing radiation is a well-established risk factor for thyroid cancer, the risk associated with adulthood exposure remains unclear. We prospectively examined the association between cumulative, low-to-moderate dose occupational radiation exposure to the thyroid and thyroid cancer incidence in the U.S. Radiologic Tec...

Information is limited on changes over time in the types of fluoroscopically guided interventional procedures performed and associated radiation safety practices used by radiologic technologists. Our study included 12,571 U.S. radiologic technologists who were certified for at least 2 years in 1926-1982 and who reported in a 2012-2013 survey that t...

There have been few studies of work history and mortality risks in medical radiation workers. We expanded by 11 years and more outcomes our previous study of mortality risks and work history, a proxy for radiation exposure. Using Cox proportional hazards models, we estimated mortality risks according to questionnaire work history responses from 198...

PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine whether providing radiologic technologists with audit feedback on doses from CT examinations they conduct and education on dose-reduction strategies reduces patients' radiation exposure. MethodsThis prospective, controlled pilot study was conducted within an integrated health care system from November 2...
