    Summary

    Imaging department workload analysis from 1978-1982 shows a significant rise in Ultrasound, CT, and special procedures. Conventional radiology decreased, with diagnostic work-up origin depending on clinical specialty, not just bed count.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology and Imaging
    • Healthcare Management

    Background:

    • Analysis of imaging department workload from 1978-1982.
    • Examination of changes in exam volume and room time.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze trends in imaging workload over a four-year period.
    • To identify factors influencing the origin of diagnostic work-up requests.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative analysis of imaging exams and room time.
    • Correlation of workload with hospital bed occupancy and clinical specialty.

    Main Results:

    • Significant workload increase observed in Ultrasound, CT, and special procedures.
    • Decrease in conventional radiology workload.
    • Diagnostic work-up origin is primarily determined by the type of clinical specialty utilizing hospital beds.
