Abstract:
Objective To ascertain and evaluate the quality of radiological protection in rural and urban primary health care institutions . Methods Questionnaires were designed to investigate the protection levels in diagnostic radiology in primary health care institutions in six cities in 2013 and to evaluate the results by using the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution ( TOPSIS) combined with the rank sum ratio ( RSR) method.Results The six cities and an integrated case ( all the data of the six prefecture-level citys were merged as one for comprasion ) were ranked based on the comprehensive assessment.The order from good to bad was Suzhou , Dalian, Yichang, integrated case, Shaoxing, Quzhou and Heihe.The results were divided into three grades , with Suzhou, Dalian at best grade, Yichang, integrated case, Shaoxing, Quzhou at middle grade, and Heihe at poor grade. Conclusions The quality of protection in radiation diagnosis varied considerably .Suzhou ranked the first and Heihe ranked the last .The study suggests that efforts should be focused on the management of key cities and indicators to upgrade whole protection level in radiation diagnosis .
