| Rationale and ObjectivesThe increasing use of imaging in the emergency department (ED) services has become an important problem on the basis of cost and unnecessary exposure to radiation. Radiographic examination of the chest has been reported to be performed in 34.4% of ED visits, and chest computerized tomography (CCT) in 15.8%, whereas some patients receive both chest radiography and CCT in the same visit. In the current study, it was aimed to establish instances of medical waste and unnecessary radiation exposure and to show how the inclusion of radiologists in the ordering process would affect the amount of unnecessary imaging studies.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective study included 1012 ED patients who had both chest radiography and CCT during the same visit at Ankara Training and Research Hospital between April 2015 and January 2016. The patients were divided into … |
