Are periodical lung film scannings up to standards ?

Introduction:To determine whether periodic lung film scanning that has very important place in Workers' health is appropriate to the technical and quality standards.Methods: The lung graphies taken in 2009 of 400 workers,working at Standart Profil, are evaluated for compliance with the technical and quality standards by three commentatorsFindings: Pulmonologist (% 52) evaluated the dose of films as normal more frequently than the other two films reader (radiologist, 44.3%, an assistant;% 30.4). The frequency of pulmonologist?s (81.7%) interpreting the films at drawn inspiration as a reader was less than the other two readers. The ratio of pulmonologist?s (%53.5) finding the film symmetric was higher than the other two readers?. Radiologists (38.1%) was the observer assistant most frequently reporting scapulas? elimination (assistant, 55.9%). The assistant was the least frequently stated the monitoring of apexes (assistant, 92.3%). Assistant observer stated that the lungs are fit to the tape least frequently.There was a perfect harmony between the comments of Observers 1 and 2 (radiologist and pulmonologist) related to films scanned with soft technique. There was a perfect harmony between the observers 2 and 3 (pulmonologist-assistant) at the films scanned with hard technique. While assistant observer most frequently determined nodules (10.9%) and infiltrates (% 3.2), pulmonologist observed emphysema (7.2%) and bronchiectasis (1.7%). observer detecting the pleural disorder most frequently was the pulmonogist. Observer detecting the most common disorder of central structures was pulmonologist.Conclusion: To improve the quality of lung films, it is necessary to correct technical standardization and scanning procedure. It is necessary controlling all the people reading films and training the technicians continuously.Keywords: Film quality, the difference between the readers, periodic scanning, worker health
