Abstract

This study aimed to find out the status of special radiographic services in selected hospitals in Metro Manila and Cavite from January to December 1994. Specifically, it sought to find out the existing special radiographic procedures, manpower and equipment of the selected hospitals under study. Identifies which of the hospitals are adequately equipped and manned with special radiographic procedures. Find out which of the five special procedures under study are mostly followed. The analysis of patient's logbook regarding special radiographic procedures with contrast media and the interview with the chief radiologic technologists were used to answer the problems in this study. The descriptive documentary research was used in this study. With the aforementioned findings, it can be viewed that the hospitals with more manpower and equipment have more patients and procedures compared to hospitals with limited manpower and equipment. All the hospitals involved are properly manned by qualified x-ray and radiologic technologists considering that they have finished Associate in Radiologic Technology and Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology courses. Of all special procedures, Barium Enema occupies the highest rank and it is basically due to the fact that majority of the problems of the patients nowadays are within the digestive system where such special procedures are necessary. The special radiographic services are generally satisfactory considering that the primary requirements of the radiology department (i.e. manpower, equipment and accessories) were met by the hospitals under study.
