Abstract:
Urgent imaging accounts for more than 50% of the overall activity in diagnostic imaging departments. The enormous impact of this workload makes the appropriate organization and management of urgent imaging essential. Providing urgent imaging services aims to meet the needs of urgent and critical patients from both within the hospital (wards) and outside it (emergency department). To achieve these aims, all hospitals should have a specific unit for urgent imaging. This unit should be large enough to deal with the volume of activity and it should be provided with the human, technological, structural, and organizational resources necessary to fulfill this mission.
