| Abstract:: |
| Objective To learn about both the distribution of resources of radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic and the frequencies of radiological examinations to provide a basis for rational allocation of medical resources and standardize medical ionizing radiation. Methods Based on the data on permanent resident population and the data reported by the Suzhou medical institutions in possesion of radiological equipment to the "Suzhou radiological health information management platform", a summary was made of the number of items of radiological equipment and the frequencies of radiological examinations in Suzhou medical institutions in 2022 and 2023. Results In 2023, there were 368 medical institutions with radiological equipment in Suzhou, including 28 tertiary hospitals, 58 secondary hospitals, 159 primary hospitals and 123 unrated others. The total number of the items of radiological equipment was 1 688, with 39 items more than in 2022, about 1.30 units per 10 000 population. There were 5 187 medical radiation workers in total, with 339 more than in 2022. The frequencies of radiological procedures were 1 157.961/per thousand population, with 37.70% being from computed tomography in 2023. Conclusions The number of items of radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic equipment and the frequencies of radiological procedures was at a relatively high level in China, but the distribution of medical resources were in a unbanlanced state. Efforts should be focused on optimization of the allocation of medical resources for the sake of reducing the public radiation dose and protecting public health. |
