Purpose:
Impatience contributes to incidents among radiological technologists, regardless of their years of experience. The purpose of this study was to investigate the causes and effects of impatience in the work of radiological technologists.
Methods:
An exploratory factor analysis was conducted on 148 questionnaire responses using a 5-item scale. The study focused on 26 items related to factors contributing to impatience and 11 items related to its impact on work.
Results:
The analysis identified 3 factors contributing to impatience: "awareness of doctors and nurses working together," "awareness of patients," and "awareness of time." Additionally, 2 effects of impatience on work were identified: "lack of confirmation during examinations" and "lack of confirmation before and after examinations." Multiple regression analysis with the addition of years of experience showed that the lack of confirmation before and after the examination was influenced by shorter years of experience, as well as by a stronger awareness of doctors and nurses working together, and time. At the same time, the lack of confirmation during the examination was influenced by a stronger awareness of doctors and nurses working together.
Conclusion:
This study clarified the factors that cause impatience in the work of radiological technologists and its influence on their work.

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...

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...
