PLANNING AND ORGANISATION OF IMAGING SERVICES: 2020

Several accidental coincidences lead to the discovery of X- rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in the year 1895. Since then a long-long way has been covered in this field. No medical science has seen such rapid change as Radiology, especially in the past few decades.

At the same time, No medical science has met the challenge as Radiology to move forward in an era of rapid change in medical technology. Because of these rapid changes in the field of imaging, the Radiology department has got the new name of Imaging department. With rapid change in investigation technology, there is a continuous changing demand in the field of radio diagnosis and imaging service.
Resulting in an advanced, and  detailed systematic planning and organizing.

The major components of Radiology/ Imaging services are:-

1. X- ray Machines
2. Ultrasound Machine
3. Doppler Machine
4. Computer assisted Tomography (CAT Scan)
5. Magnetic Resonance Imaging  (MRI)
6. Position Emission Tomography (PET)
7. Mammography
8. Nuclear Imaging System

To manage such large number of sophisticated machines whose rays/emissions are hazardous to humane population calls for a critical planning taking in to consideration the safety aspect of patient , public and the department staff.
The following presentation shows some important aspects of planning and organizing of Radiology department of a hospital.

DISABILITY AND REHABILITATION APPROACH: 2020

While discussing about 4th stage of disease prevention we have discussed about disability limitation and rehabilitation. Disability is the dysfunction of any part of the body or mind leading to difficulty in performing one or more activities.

This may involve various body systems/parts and may be of various degrees.
Disability may be caused by various pre disposing factors and diseases.
To prevent disability one must be aware of these factors and if disability occurs how to rehabilitate such persons.

It is therefore essential for all hospital administrators to know about the causes and how to prevent them so as to ensure creating such facilities for rehabilitation, and disable compliance facilities, in the hospital structure planning.

All hospitals should be disability friendly, to ensure easy movement of disable patients. The presentation arrives at a solution to the all above disability issues to serve as a guide line.
