Abstract:
Greece is one of the European countries with the largest number of CT and MRI scans. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a useful tool for efficient cost reduction in the health sector. ArcGIS software is used to create interpretable maps. Data represents the number of imaging examinations per type and population size. All available data is acquired in 2012-2015. By using special symbols, pop up windows emerge. The windows contain a large number of data. The results are filtered and uploaded to a digital control panel. This central information system combined with the digital maps form a digital platform for estimating the exact number of diagnostic examinations. The survey confirms that the General Hospital of Tripolis performed 27.000 CT examinations in 2012-2015, corresponding to approximately 57% of the population of Tripolis. The approximate percentage of CT scans of the Hospital Unit of Pyrgos was found 55%. The implementation of this platform confirms the large number of diagnostic examinations in most areas of Peloponnese.
