The Dubai Health Authority has revealed the introduction of advanced technology to monitor the radiation doses that patients are exposed to during the therapeutic diagnosis process in its various health facilities, as the first health institution at the state level, with the aim of achieving the maximum levels of health security and safety for patients during their treatment journey.
The innovative technical authority was presented during its participation in the Dubai Health Forum, which started today and will continue until tomorrow.
The head of the radiology department at Rashid Hospital, Dr. Osama Al Bastaki, stressed the importance and safety of this new system, which is characterized by its ability to determine the appropriate dose for the patient, with the feature of warning the radiology technician when the dose exceeds the permissible limit, which contributes to adjusting the dose or writing the scientific and medical justification for this increase. .
Al Bastaki explained that the new system, which is unique to DHA hospitals, prepares a comprehensive report on each x-ray examination that is conducted in the authority’s facilities, in addition to weekly and monthly reports on all x-ray tests in order to study the possibility of continuous development of this service.
He said that the design of this system and its mechanism of action came based on the statistical information of patients, comparing them with other cases and knowing the status of the case compared to other cases, which may help in the future to improve and reduce the dose while giving a diagnostic x-ray with high standards and quality.
He explained that the new system includes a feature to monitor and follow up the work of the radiology technician, the level of performance and the extent of his commitment to diagnostic standards during the imaging process, and how the patient is positioned during the diagnosis, because the wrong position during imaging may take an excessive dose of radiation.
The system informs the doctor or radiology technician of the accumulated doses obtained by the patient during previous diagnostic processes, so that these accumulated doses do not pose a threat to the health and safety of the patient.
In turn, Roqaya Abdul Wahed from the Radiology Department at the authority said that the technology can work on artificial intelligence and has been blinded to all hospitals and health centers, and by the end of this month, Hatta Hospital will be linked with the authority’s hospitals, pointing out that 4000 x-rays are performed daily, including 1000 in clinics. And three thousand in health fitness examination centers, indicating that the permissible doses for giving x-rays to the patient are 100 decimeters.
