Özet
Introduction Materials and Methods With the developing medical technology, radiological imaging has also had an important place in medical practice. In recent years, international assessments have drawn attention to the increase in the use of these basic examination methods used in diagnostic radiology. The aim of this study was to draw attention to the importance of examining the distribution of radiological imaging examinations. This study is a descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study in which the types and numbers of radiological imaging procedures performed in the Radiology Clinic of the 3rd level health facility between 01.01.2015 and 31.12.2018 were obtained and examined in electronic environment. This study is a descriptive retrospective cross-sectional study in which the types and numbers of radiological imaging procedures performed in the Radiology Clinic of the 3rd level health facility between 01.01.2015 and 31.12.2018 were obtained and examined in electronic environment. Obtained data were presented in tables as numbers (n) and percentages (%). Results Within a four-year period, in the Radiology Clinic; a total of 3,321,923 imaging procedures were detected, including Conventional Radiography 2.018.595, Ultrasonography 568.725, Computed Tomography 400.530, Magnetic Resonance Imaging 292.221 and Mammography 41,852. While conventional radiography procedures were 406,440 in 2015, it was 581,062 in 2018. It was determined that the most requested type of radiography among the conventional radiography procedures was the Bidirectional Single Joint X-ray in the years evaluated. While ultrasonography was 115,601 in 2015, it was 163,845 in 2018. Among the ultrasonography procedures, it was determined that the most requested type was Breast Ultrasonography with 15.92% in 2015 and Whole Abdominal Ultrasonography in 2016-2018, respectively, in the total number of ultrasonography in the year in which it belonged. While Computed Tomography was 49,580 in 2015, it was 93,314 in 2018. It has been determined that the most requested type of Computed Tomography procedures is Brain Computed Tomography. While Magnetic Resonance Imaging was 406,440 in 2015, it was 581,062 in 2018. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging was the most requested type among Magnetic Resonance Imaging procedures, with 24.87% and 25.45% in 2015 and 2016, respectively, among the total number of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the year in which it belonged. In 2017 and 2018, Lumbar Vertebra Magnetic Resonance Imaging was observed with 22.35% and 23.15%, respectively. While breast MG examination was 8,027 in 2015, it was 12,915 in 2018. It was determined that breast mammography examination increased approximately 60.89% from 2015 to 2018. Conclusion According to the results of our work; it can be said that the fact that breast USG and Whole Abdominal USG are among the most frequently requested examinations indicate an accurate diagnosis and control processes from general to specific.
