Purpose:
Reducing unnecessary retakes is a critical responsibility of radiologic technologists and plays an important role in promoting medical safety by minimizing patient radiation exposure. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of retake visualization using the general radiography management system "RADInsight" and the effectiveness of the educational interventions through periodic retake review meetings.
Methods:
General radiographic examinations performed at our institution from June 2023 to October 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Retake rates and contributing factors were examined by anatomical region and cause.
Results:
The overall retake rate significantly decreased from a maximum of 7.5% to 2.1%. Positioning errors were the most frequent cause of retakes, with notable improvements observed in lateral views of the knee and elbow following educational intervention. Inexperienced technologists showed a higher incidence of retakes due to motion artifacts and insufficient exposure.
Conclusion:
The combined use of RADInsight for retake monitoring and targeted educational intervention effectively reduced retake rates. This approach demonstrated its value as a practical strategy to support radiologic technologist training and reduce patient radiation exposure, thereby contributing to enhanced medical safety. Wider adoption and multi-institutional application are anticipated in the future.
