Inventory of medical X-ray equipment in Dutch hospitals
Abstract:
The results of an inventory of medical X-ray apparatus in Dutch hospitals are presented and discussed. An inquiry covering a total of 226 hospitals yielded a response of 92%. The questionnaires contained preprinted data from an earlier inventory of registered X-ray apparatus at the Ministry of Physical Planning, Housing and the Environment. At present the total number of X-ray apparatus in Dutch hospitals is 3,008, of which 2.820 are of the diagnostic X-ray type. The accumulated data show that approximately 8 million X-ray examinations were performed in hospitals during the year 1984, corresponding to 0.56 X-ray examinations per inhabitant per year.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
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...
