Patient anxiety and poor cooperation are more apt to be socio-psychological in origin rather than mental or physical. Therefore, it is important that the technology curriculum provide sufficient emphasis on behavioral psychology, motivation and control techniques, and communication skills. Studies show that if the patient and his family are adequately informed of what to expect when they go to the radiology department, through interviews, videotapes, etc., their anxieties decrease. Use of anxiety-reducing techniques can decrease uncooperative behavior, examination time, and misunderstandings that cause a poor professional image.
患者的焦虑和合作不佳更多源于社会心理因素，而非精神或身体因素。因此，技术课程充分重视行为心理学、动机与控制技巧以及沟通技能非常重要。研究表明，如果通过面谈、录像带等方式让患者及其家属充分了解去放射科时会发生什么，他们的焦虑就会减轻。使用减轻焦虑的技巧可以减少不合作行为、检查时间以及导致不良专业形象的误解。
