Abstract

Background/Objective: Valid quality indicators are necessary parameters for any quality control system. One of these indicators in radiology apartments is repeat rate analysis. Evaluation of repeat rate and their causes is a useful method for quality control in diagnostic radiology. Repeat radiographs are responsible for the majority of unnecessary patient irradiation. The repeat rate in addition to reducing the costs, decreasing the patient exposure dose, and their waiting times; eventually leads to the increasing the quality of radiology department. This study was carried out to evaluate the repeat rate and their causes at two hospitals in Tabriz. Patients and Methods: Repeated radiographs in radiology department in Sine and Shohola Hospitals were collected over 10-months period from April 2006 To February 2007 The repeated radiographs were categorized and analyzed in seven groups according to causes of repetition: exposure error, position error, patient movement, equipment fault, processor fault, artifacts, and others. Results: The average repeat rate was 4.03%, while the individual hospital repeat rates were 4.38% and 3.84% in the Sine and Shohola hospitals respectively. In Sine hospital, Exposure (41.3%) and positioning (24. 89%), and in Shohola hospital Exposure (64.25%) and others (16.35%) errors were the main reasons for repetition. Conclusion: This study showed that human error and equipment malfunction were the most important factors resulting in repeats.
