Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors of patient's fall that causes serious injury in the radiological examinations.
Methods:
We conducted a questionnaire survey on cases of medical accidents occurring in the radiological examination department in medical institutions. The number of responses to the questionnaire surveys was 372. Among them, 197 cases were related to fall. The incident influence classification divided into eight clusters (0, 0H, 1, 2, 3a, 3b, 4, 5) was divided into three clusters (tiny, moderate, serious injury) depending on severity. We analyzed the factors that cause serious injury.
Results:
In the case of patient's fall, several factors have been found to cause serious injury. The factors were general radiography, standing position, outside working hours.
Conclusion:
All falls can cause serious injury. To reduce falls, it is important to analyze what kind of patient and in what situation tend to fall, and prevent falls in advance.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
