This study was conducted to provide a basis for planning Radiological technologists supply and career counseling of college students by investigating the distribution and status of Radiological technologists and expensive medical equipment increased trend in Korea. The data was collected from August to September 2014 through related associations and national agencies. Radiological technologists working in the domestic medical institutions in 2014 were confirmed as a trend that continues to increase over the previous year to a total 18,988 and 37.3 per 100,000 population but the increase number was less than the number of Radiological technician licensee annually. Distribution of expensive medical equipments is as follows: the total number of CT was 1,873 in 2014 decreased compared to the previous year, the total number of MRI and PET was 1,261 and 207 increased over the previous year but the increased width decreased. In the future a variety of jobs and quality improvement of Radiological technician will be needed with a steady workforce monitoring.

1996년 이후부터 전산화단층촬영 검사가 건강보험급여대상이 되면서 이용률과 보급률이 더욱 증가되고 있으며 검사범위의 확대, 검사시간의 단축, 반복검사의 용이성, 이용의 편리성, 결과의 신뢰성, 장치의 구조적인 요소 및 검사 시행 횟수의 증가 등으로 검사량이 증가되고 있는 실정이다. CT 검사 건수의 증가요인으로 새로운 CT장비의 개발과 더불어 급격한 장비도입 증가 추세가 있으므로 이에 본 연구에서는 의료기관 종별 및 시기별 CT 장치 보유현황과 검사료간의 관계를 파악하였다. CT 장비는 병원급은 증가하고 있는 추세이나 의원급은 감소하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. CT진료비 청구는 80%이상이 종합전문요양기관과 종합병원에서 청구하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 고가의료영상 진단 장비인 CT의 세대별 발달장비 도입 시기에 따른 우리나라 CT의 현황을 조사 분석하여 제시하여 고가의료장비 수급의 정책수립의 계기 및 기여하고자 한다.

The supply of medical services using high-priced medical equipment is increasing due to the medicalization of medical science. The level of medical knowledge of medical consumers and the ability to select medical institutions are required to provide high quality medical services because of the popularization of medical information. As the attitudes of medical consumers toward medical institutions change, medical institutions also need to change their perception to improve customer satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the difference of medical service satisfaction according to the medical knowledge about the utility of PET / CT in order to change the consciousness structure of medical service. The results of this study showed that both medical satisfaction and environmental satisfaction were high in those who had medical knowledge about their own illness and the usefulness of PET / CT. Therefore, medical institutions will need a practical medical service countermeasures to provide medical information by noticing the changes in perception of the medical knowledge of medical consumers, rather than providing formal medical services.

The cost of advanced medical technologies is commonly considered to be a major factor in the overall escalation of expenditures on health. The use of computed tomography (CT) scanning has increased dramatically over the past decade. CT has been rapidly adopted, despite their high cost. The aim of this study is to analysis the increasing factor of the frequency of the CT, using the decision tree model. Finally, we propose the effective policy option of diagnostic imaging technology in Korea.

This research examined use rate and profitability of equipment in hospital scale with about 500 beds to present data including to review before introducing PACS with the checklist included in preparation and proposal based on expected profit suggested by operation department and cost and use rate of the expensive medical equipment were analyzed. It was proved that profit was generated in the research subject hospital if PACS is introduced. Three to five year of lease is proper for the purchase method of medical equipment. Profit after two year of use will surpass investment cost and generate clear profit. Based on the profit generated from operation of radiology department, the purchase amount to introduce PACS at the hospital will be retrieved after about 1.9 years for the investment. The number of reshoot test at radiology department will be decreased and film, development, and fixer will not be necessary to buy so the operation cost will be reduced. Moreover, other than actual profit increased, the hospital can improve its reputation and employees can reduce their works and get better working environment with less stress. Their job satisfaction will be increased so they can improve service quality and it is good for marketing strategy of the hospital. As a result of this research, it was proved that the small and general hospital should have expected profit with introduction of PACS and analyze its contribution to treatment service and profit after the purchase. Then, the hospital should make a proposal for introduction of the medical equipment and establish effective operation plan.
