Best Practices

Modality-wise Practices

• • X-Ray - Digital systems only, Pediatric low-dose protocols, Repeat rate analysis
• • Ultrasonography - Doppler documentation, Probe disinfection after each use
• • CT scan - Weight-based dose protocols, Iterative reconstruction, Dose monitoring logs
• • MRI – Mandatory MRI safety screening form, Implant/metal checklist (pacemaker, clips, stents, prosthesis), Zone-based access control (Zone I–IV), Standard protocols

Workflow and Efficiency

• • Structured Reporting: Usage of standardized templates (like BI-RADS or PI-RADS) to ensure that clinicians and fellow radiologists get the specific data points they need to know for treatment.
• • Sub-specialization: Case discussions with sub-specialist radiologists for better diagnostic accuracy and provides better training for postgraduates.
• • PACS/RIS Integration: Seamless integration between the Radiology Information System (RIS) and the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to minimize manual data entry and patient ID errors.

Patient Safety and Quality Control

• • Implement a peer-review system where radiologists can review a percentage of each other's cases to identify discrepancies.

Radiation safety (AERB Compliance)

• • Radiation Dose Tracking for maintaining ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) standards.
• • TLD badges mandatory
• • Lead shielding for staff and patients
• • QA and calibration

Contrast Media Protocols:

• • eGFR and allergy screening
• • Informed consent
• • Post-contrast monitoring
• • Maintain strict, updated protocols for managing contrast-induced nephropathy and acute allergic reactions, with emergency crash carts audited weekly.

The Academic and Training Environment

• • Double-Reading Sessions: Every postgraduate report is over-read and signed off by a consultant.
• • Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) Meetings: Foster deep integration with Oncology, Surgery, and Pathology. Radiology is most effective when the radiologist is an active consultant in the patient’s treatment plan.

Patient Experience

• • Communication of Critical Results: Establishing a "closed-loop" communication system. If a radiologist finds a critical result, the report is directly conveyed directly to the referring physician.

Environment Design:

• • Reducing ambient noise in MRI suites and providing clear, pre-procedure instructions aimed to lower patient anxiety and movement artifacts.

Equipment Maintenance (Total Productive Maintenance)

• • Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM): Schedule downtime for machines before they break. In a high-volume university setting, one down CT scanner can cripple the Emergency Department's workflow.
