COST ASSESSMENT OF COMPUTED RADIOGRAPHY TOWARDS CONVENTIONAL RADIOGRAPHY
View through CrossRef
Introduction: With the expansion of the development of computer equipment and the improvement of software interfaces, there is also a sudden development of radiology without film, through computerized radiography (CR) systems. The CR system made it possible to improve the quality of the radiological image, and thus to make a more accurate and faster diagnosis.Objective: To estimate the costs of computed radiography compared to conventional radiography.Materials and methods: The analysis used data on the costs of radiological materials and existing radiological information systems from the plans and signed contracts for 2019 and 2022 in the Croatian Hospital "Dr. Fr. Mato Nikolić" Nova Bila.Results: Thecosts of conventional radiology are exceptionally high, including the procurement of X-ray films, processing chemicals, and equipment maintenance. The analysis compares the number of procedures and the displayed costs for the hospital.Conclusion: Computerized radiography is more cost-effective than conventional radiography due to reusable phosphor imaging plates and reduced chemical and film expenses.Keywords: Diagnostic Imaging, Radiography, Cost-Effectiveness Analysis,Radiology Information Systems
