The design and construct a website for collection and report diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) in diagnostic radiography
Background
The preparation of reports and calculation of dose reference levels (DRLs) for general x-ray radiography are valuable tools for determining appropriate radiation dosage. However, the systematic collection of dose-area product (DAP) dose data can be challenging, and calculating entrance surface air kerma (ESAK)values requires precision and careful calculations.
Objective
The aim of this study was to design and implement a website for the collection of DAP values, calculation of ESAK values, and reporting of DRLs from general diagnostic radiographs. Additionally, the study evaluated the quality and satisfaction of radiological technologists using the website.
Methods
Website design considerations included navigation, database management, and the development of an interactive web application for displaying and validating calculations. Subsequently, the website was made available to 16 volunteers for evaluation of its effectiveness and user satisfaction.
Results
The developed website functioned properly and was capable of recording DAP data, calculating ESAK values, and generating reports on DRL values. Verification of the ESAK and DRL calculations by four experts confirmed their accuracy. The content evaluation yielded a mean score of 4.71 ± 0.49 for content, 4.59 ± 0.65 for usability, 4.55 ± 0.59 for website format, and 4.61 ± 0.60 for overall satisfaction.
Conclusion
A website designed for the collection and reporting of DRLs in general diagnostic radiography offered practical application potential. Its functionalities could enhance the work efficiency of radiological technologists and contribute to improved radiation optimization and protection.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Sciences is the official peer-reviewed journal of the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists. This journal is published four times a year and is circulated to approximately 11,000 medical radiation technologists, libraries and radiology departments throughout Canada, the United States and overseas. The Journal publishes articles on recent research, new technology and techniques, professional practices, technologists viewpoints as well as relevant book reviews.
