Abstract

Diagnostic Imaging is a subclinical specialty that helps doctors make an accurate diagnosis of a patient’s disease. This article conducted to describe the situation of using CT and MRI of the internal system in Thai Nguyen A Hospital from 2016 to 2020. This study aims to collect all medical records of patients in 6 departments of the internal system which were kept in the General Planning Department, having indications to use CT and MRI in Thai Nguyen A Hospital from 2016 to 2020. The total number of medical records studied was 10545. The results showed that, there are the differences of the rate of using CT and MRI among deparments in internal system, in which the Emergency Department has the highest rate of using CT and MRI (30.9%) while the Oriental Medicine Department has the lowest utilization rate (3.1%). The proportion of using both CT and MRI services is low (1.3 - 2.8%). Departments in the internal system often indicate to use CT more than MRI. The skull is the most commonly indicated location for CT scans (53.2% - 86.7%).
