Radiology

After the 1994 closure of the paediatric X-ray room, MSR installed 7 X-ray units. The hospital X-ray engineer worked closely with MSR’s engineer and dealt successfully with Bucharest to gain the necessary authorisations. X-ray capability was installed in A&E for the first time. Coupled with 2 new government-supplied units, the radiation physicist from Cluj said that the department now delivered 7 times less dose than the norm in Transylvania. MSR has also supplied vital accessories, including a set of uniform film cassettes without which the government-supplied automatic processor could not function properly.

In 1995, during the equipment installation period, a British radiographer spent 5 months in the X-ray department training staff. Some inappropriate nationally-taught standards were corrected. She was well qualified to be on the staff of the MSR-funded (£25,000) 3-week Update in Imaging training course in October 1995 at Cranfield University’s Oxford Centre for Radiographic Studies, which was attended by 12 radiographers, radiologists, radiation physicists & X-ray engineers from across Romania, including three from Salaj Hospital. The course was run by Brian Mansfield, Imaging Consultant with the Medical Devices Agency. There are frequent visits to Salaj Hospital by radiologists and radiographers. The report by Mr Mansfield from his first visit to Salaj Hospital in May 2001 interested the Minister of Health. In May 2002, Brian Mansfield was accompanied by Michael Fitzgerald, the Director of the Radiation Protection Centre based at St. George’s Hospital.
