Abstract

ABSTRACT The use of digital imaging for the diagnostic purpose has been increased during last few years. This technique has brought advancement in the field of radiography. The effect of digital imaging on workflow has a direct relation with the performance of technologists. Aim The predestined aim of this study was to analyze the use and influence of digital imaging on the workflow of the radiologists and also to demonstrate the effects on the overall performance of healthcare delivery. Method A quantitative method of analysis is used in this study and the study instrument consisted of a questionnaire. The questions relates to the effect of digital imaging on workflow and image quality. Total of100 questionnaires were distributed and 82 of them were retrieved back. The inclusion criteria include healthcare providers who are radiographers radiologist and radiology nurses. The healthcare providers of all ages gender and ethnicity were included in this study. Results according to 70.2 of the study participants digital imaging has reduced the workflow and processes of radiography whereas 96.3 of the participants reported that digital imaging technique has improved their clinical performance. Conclusion It is therefore concluded that digital imaging is a valuable in improving the quality of diagnosis in the field of radiography. Further it is highly cost-effective time-saving digital imaging shows a positive and promising effect on the work practice of radiologists and also provides improved diagnostic results.
