Request
A
Does the General Hospital in Jersey have a software system capable of patient radiation dose recording and management in radiology? (NB: this could be a stand alone product or be part of a PACS or other radiology platform solution)
B
If so, is it a commercially available system or a system free of cost to use?
Response
A and B
Health and Community Services (HCS) does not have a software system which collates patient radiation dose data.
All of HCS’ x-ray and CT scanning machines produce radiation dose data that is manually recorded against the patient on the Radiology Information System.
