Repeats are indicators for the quality-imaging manager to schedule additional training and to be used as a basis for dialog with the reading radiologists to improve the service and quality to patients and referring physicians. Through the thoughtful application of software and networking, dose management, X-ray usage, and repeat analysis data can be made available centrally. This provides clinically useful technologist-centric results greatly benefiting an enterprise. This study tracked a radiology department's use of a digital X-ray dashboard software application. It was discovered that 80% of the exams were performed by only 21% of the technologists and that the technologist with the highest throughput had a personal repeat rate of 6.5% compared to the department average of 7.6%. This study indicated that useful information could be derived and used as a basis for improving the radiology department's operations and in maintaining high quality standards.
重复检查是质量影像管理人员安排额外培训的指标，也可作为与阅片放射科医生进行沟通的依据，以改善对患者和转诊医生的服务及质量。通过对软件和网络的合理应用，可以集中提供剂量管理、X射线使用情况及重复检查分析数据。这能提供以技术人员为中心的、对临床有用的结果，使企业受益匪浅。本研究跟踪了一个放射科对数字X射线仪表板软件应用程序的使用情况。研究发现，80%的检查仅由21%的技术人员完成，且通量最高的技术人员个人重复检查率为6.5%，而科室平均重复检查率为7.6%。该研究表明，可以获取有用信息，并将其作为改善放射科运营及维持高质量标准的依据。
