Quick radiological diagnosis is often needed in order to allow the clinicians to make a diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to measure examination time for radiology procedures before and after physical integration of a radiology unit in the ED. We retrospectively acquired data from the radiology information system and compared time from referral to end of radiological examination before and after physical integration of the radiology unit in the ED for 19,897 X-ray and 6,940 CT examinations. After integration examination time for X-ray examinations was reduced by 5 to 14 minutes (p<0.001). For CT head and chest examination time was reduced by 7 to 15 minutes (p<0.003) while examination time for CT abdomen was prolonged by 4 minutes (p=0.78).
为了让临床医生能够做出诊断，通常需要快速进行放射学诊断。本研究的目的是测量急诊科放射科单元实体整合前后放射学检查的时间。我们从放射学信息系统中回顾性获取数据，并比较了急诊科放射科单元实体整合前后19897例X线检查和6940例CT检查从转诊到放射学检查结束的时间。整合后，X线检查的时间减少了5至14分钟（p<0.001）。对于CT头部和胸部检查，时间减少了7至15分钟（p<0.003），而CT腹部检查的时间延长了4分钟（p=0.78）。
