Abstract


Background:
The optimum objective of a radiographic study is to provide images that can be diagnostic to assist in the management of the patient; on the other hand the ionizing radiation exposure received by the patient should be minimized. A rejected radiograph image is a poor quality image that does not provide the necessary information to help clinical diagnosis, subsequently it is repeated. Analysis of image rejection is an important part of the quality assurance programs for a radiology department to determine the reason for rejection which can assist to arrange for proper radiographer training as well as help smooth workflow and consequently reduce the ionizing radiation to the patients.

Aim of work: The current study aims to analyze the image reject rate for radiographs at PHCC and determine the reasons for rejection.

Material & Methods: The data was retrospectively collected from January 2020 to December 2020 to include all rejected images. The reject rate per each reason, anatomical area and health centers were analyzed.

Results: The total sample size was 581 rejected cases with overall reject rate of 0.78 %. The most frequently recorded causes for image rejection were patient movement during the procedure or non-cooperative patient (37.86%) and off-center study (21.17%). The frequency of image rejection was higher in some studies such as spine (24.44%), chest (23.41%), and lower extremities examination (18.24%).

Conclusion: The reject rate in PHCC radiology department is within the accepted limits of quality control and assurance studies. However, it is highly important to carry on quality improvement projects with proper training and education based on utilization of regular reject analysis and feedback tool.

Key words: Radiography-Reject rate- Images- Quality- ALARA
