Abstract

With the modernization of the hospital centralization in various departments of the hospital has become brisk movement of the attached hospital of university where the modernization has comparatively been slow we think this tendency is especially large. We think that the primary cause is with the recent expansion of radiological affairs, i. e., the increase of cases, variety of the contents and their intension and the elongation of time for medical examination, etc.. These factors play important role (1) on the economical (fund) problem, (2) on the problems of tools monitoring and (3) on the problems of radiation institution etc. so close up for our consideration. We suppose that our main aim is to lessen futile investment on the equipments and on the personal and make the most of these so as to increase the number of case, diversification, intensification. It is supposed that the chief aim to raise the level of efficiency, to the increase of the case, multification, to raise higher efficiency, these will be our main aim. In the case of centralization the merits and demerits of patients are as follows. The point of advantage : (1) Qualitative rise the apparatus (The introduction of brand new apparatus) (2) The problem of the elevation of technique will be able to expect. (3) The standardization of data (4) Double cheque of data (5) Pratical use of the knowledge of experts Defects : (1) The elongation of working distance of patients (2) The elongation of the time waiting (3) Making diagnosis gross and rough (4) The problem of promotion better understanding between departments Considering the above mention facts, excepting the case where human, material investment can bedone broadly, the merit centralized seems great, but even if the centralization can be done its set up and management are awkward and clumsy, the above mentioned characteristics could not be available, but induce completely within, so through attention will be required. Thus centralization of various function of radioactivities is mainly from economic standpoint, so we think over patients if so doing we think over that there would be room for argument wether centralization is good. Now we wish to put the problem aside for a while and standing on the point the centralization is a trend (1) better service to the patients would be possible. (not standing our standpoint only) it would have to be the one considered from the standpoint of patients. (2) Realization has to be possible with the fair standpoint that is realizable. These two points have to be taken care of. Here, the problem of "What center radiological department should be"mentioned.
