Abstract:
Objective To understand the status of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in southeaster Chongqing area, and to provide evidence for health authorities to carry out radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy management. Methods The questionnaire survey was carried out in radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions. Results In 2020 there are 224 radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy institutions, including 3 tertiary hospitals and 16 secondary hospitals. Three hospitals carried out radiotherapy, two hospitals carried out nuclear medicine, and seven hospitals carried out interventional radiology. There were 376 sets of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy equipment, and the number of DR and CT machine was large (58.8% and 14.9% respectively). There were 786 radiological workers (66.9% male), and most of them were X-ray diagnostic workers (85.8%). There were 977, 043 cases of routine X-ray diagnosis(application frequency of 357.7 per 1000 population), mainly in the first level and below hospitals (accounting for 45.3%). There were 391, 067 cases of CT diagnosis (application frequency 143.8 per 1000 population), mainly in secondary hospitals (66.0%). 4860 patients received interventional therapy (application frequency 1.78 per 1000 population) and 781 patients received radiotherapy (application frequency 0.003 per 1000 population), mainly in tertiary hospitals (55.3% and 69.8% respectively). Conclusion Radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy resources in southeast Chongqing area backward and unevenly developed, and there are few hospitals carrying out radiotherapy, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology. Except for Qianjiang district, the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy in the other five districts and counties (autonomous counties) is weak, it is necessary to further improve the level of radiological diagnosis and radiotherapy.
