Establishment of routine image interpretation presentation for radiographers in the Radiology department, Mzuzu Central Hospital

Abstract

Objective
By establishing routine image interpretation presentation in the Radiology Department of Mzuzu Central Hospital (MCH), radiographers can conduct technical analysis and quality control of DR, CT among other medical imaging techniques used in clinical practice, which can effectively improve the overall level of radiographers.
Methods
Formulate the general principles of radiographer image interpretation for the Radiology Department: (1) Select typical cases and special cases to analyze the examination methods and image standard interpretation; (2) Select cases that individuals have done relatively satisfactory or unsatisfactory, or even failed to analyze the lessons learned; (3) Select normal cases to identify important imaging anatomy and describe imaging manifestations, so as to improve the basic knowledge level of imaging diagnosis and the ability to interpret images. Secondly, establish an imaging technology reading system under the perspective of new media, and extend it to real-time discussion of technical issues in an online chat group.
Results
(1) Through image interpretation, the overall quality of radiographers have been significantly improved; (2) Through continuous learning of the imaging manifestations of typical cases, the level of imaging diagnosis can be effectively improved; (3) Find out the causes of some failed examinations, put forward rectification suggestions, and avoid mistakes again; (4) Special patients and special patients formulate personalized plans based on common practical experience to quickly complete the examination.
Conclusion
By establishing routine image interpretation presentations for radiographers and incorporating new media perspectives into image interpretation, we have observed higher levels of radiographer participation in learning discussions within technical groups. This approach has significantly improved the comprehensive business capabilities of radiographers and fostered greater unity within the technical team.
