Özet:

 The aim of this study is to assess the frequency and causes of X-ray retakes in a university hospital. This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study. The population of the study consists of the number of retaken X-ray examinations in the radiology unit between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2021, in a university hospital in Istanbul. In the study, there was no sample selection, and the entire population was taken into consideration. The information was extracted from the radiology records. Descriptive statistics and frequency tables were used in the analysis of the data. The reasons for X-ray retakes are classified under three main headings: patient, staff, and device-related causes. As a result of the study, the rate of X-ray retakes was found to be 0.13. It was determined that 84.10 of X-ray retakes were due to devices, 8.13 were staff-related, and 7.77 were patient-related. It was also found that 67.23 of device-related retakes were due to portable cassette artifacts, 34.78 of staff-related retakes were due to patient position error, and 77.27 of patient-related retakes were due to the patients movement during imaging. It is recommended, based on the results of the study, that the hospital management ensure regular maintenance and calibration of the medical devices, promptly repair malfunctioning devices, and provide training to enhance employees technical skills.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı, bir üniversite hastanesinde tekrar röntgen çekim oranı ve nedenleri hakkında genel bir değerlendirme yapmaktır. Çalışma retrospektif türde kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmanın evrenini İstanbulda yer alan bir üniversite hastanesinde 01.01.2019-31.12.2021 tarihleri arasında radyoloji ünitesinde tekrar çekilen röntgen X-ray tetkik sayıları oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş ve evrenin tamamı değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Veriler radyoloji ünitesi kayıtlarından elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden ve sıklık tablolarından faydalanılmıştır. Tekrar röntgen çekim nedenleri; hasta, çalışan ve cihaz kaynaklı nedenler olarak üç ana başlık altında sınıflandırılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda tekrar röntgen çekim oranı 0,13 olarak bulunmuştur. Tekrar çekim nedenlerinin 84,10unun cihaz, 8,13ünün çalışan, 7,77sinin ise hasta kaynaklı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Cihaz kaynaklı tekrar çekimlerin 67,23ünün portable kaset artefaktı, çalışan kaynaklı tekrar çekimlerin 34,78inin pozisyon hatası, hasta kaynaklı tekrar çekimlerin 77,27sinin ise çekim esnasında hastanın hareket etmesi sonucu yaşandığı bulunmuştur. Çalışma sonuçlarına dayanarak hastane yönetiminin tıbbi cihazların bakım ve kalibrasyonlarını düzenli bir şekilde yaptırması, arızalanan cihazları vaktinde tamir ettirmesi ve çalışanların teknik becerilerini geliştirecek eğitimler verilmesi önerilmektedir.
