Purpose : The purpose of this study is to research of radiologic technologists’ work efficiency and satisfaction by using Dual Transfer Set(DTS) instead of previously used Single Transfer Set(STS) to fill contrast media on Auto injector syringe in CT enhancement.
Materials and Methods : From January 2013 to December 2013, 41,041 patients who underwent CT enhancement study using DTS were included in this study. Contrast media were used 100ml, 150ml, 500ml and 1000ml. Contrast media preparation time was checked between STS and DTS. Radiologic technologists’s work efficiency and satisfaction were checked by questionnaires.
Results : The total number of tests in 2013 was 65,457 and CT enhancement were 41,041(62.7%). The cases of using large amount contrast media(500ml, 1000ml) was 47.65%. Contrast media preparation time using DTS was shortened CT scan time of 30 seconds than using STS. Radiologic technologists who participated in the questionnaire was 15. The case of using contrast media by prescription was 10(67%). The case of not using a mixture of two different contrast media was 11(73%), The answer that preparing the CT scan using DTS than using STS is easier was 12(80%). The answer that preparation time of CT scan reduces when using DTS was 12(80%). The answer that there is willingness to recommend DTS to other hospital was 12(80%).
Conclusion : The number of CT scan is increasing since CT scan was developed and It is expected to increase in the future. It will also increase the frequency of use of contrast media. Using DTS in CT scan is expected to prevent infection because it is not necessary to replace a large amount contrast media frequently. It is ease to use of remained contrast media and is useful to manage of patients with side effects. Reducing CT preparation time will improve radiologic technologist’s work efficiency and satisfaction and it also will reduce CT check wait time. In this reason, DTS clinical application is highly recommended.
