Differentiation of radiological assistants in particular branches (X-ray, Nuclear medicine, Radiotherapy)
PROKOPOVÁ, Šárka
Bachelor thesis is divided into theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is about the details of the work of the departments, which include x-ray, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. The entire work is supplemented by my own photographs, as well as photographs from public information sources. There is also a brief history of radiology. I also stated the most important personalities of this scope and their inventions. Next, I put in the work tables and charts from the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic and compared them with my results. In the practical section, I focused on creating questionnaires for doctors and radiology assistants. These questionnaires were designed for employees of branches RTG, NUM and RTO. For physicians was prepared 12 questions and for radiological assistants 14 questions. Respondents answered in the form of a check mark one or more responses. There are also questions, where the answer must be indicated in written form. Then were the collected results sorted into the different categories according to the scope. Then I transferred the resulting data in a graphical form. At the end of the practical part I commented on the data and added my own opinions and insights. The survey was carried out in the form of personally or electronic distributing the questionnaires to individual hospitals throughout the Czech Republic. The results were then delivered to me by a mail or I had to go for them into concrete hospitals personally. It depended on the willingness of a particular hospital. The work will be used for educational purposes and to raise awareness among university students and professional public.

Prof. Rudolf Jedlička (1869-1926) and the medical and social institutions bound up with his activities
Černá, Marcela ; Jakubec, Ivan (advisor) ; Rákosník, Jakub (referee)
Rudolf Jedlička belongs to the most important Czech doctors of the beginning of the 20th century. After finishing his studies he engaged, under the influence of his favourite professor Karel Maydl, in surgery. Nevertheless he was very soon interested in X-ray science and radiology - the science branches, which were just newly being formed, and whose pioneer in the central Europe he became. Jedlička was often consulted as a diagnostic and operator thanks to his many-sided medical skills. He connected his life with the Faculty of Medicine of the Czech Charles-Ferdinand University, respectively Charles University, where he was engaged as an educationalist - creator of so called Jedlička school, which became bearer of his medical heritage. He reached the top of his career in 1921, when he was designated as regular professor of surgery and simultaneously head of the II. Clinic of Surgery. Rudolf Jedlička did not limit his activities only to medical theory and practice, but he was also initiator and organizer of many medical and social projects, the most important of which was the foundation of Prague sanatorium and neighbouring Jedlička foundation. Prague sanatorium was opened in May 1914 as a general hospital covering all specializations except of infectious and mental illnesses. The sanatorium arrived...

Dental radiology
JIRKOVÁ, Kateřina
The topic of this bachelor thesis is ?Dental Radiology.? The aim of this thesis is to create a summary about dental diagnoses and evaluate the benefits of modern imaging methods in dentistry. The work is to familiarize students with conventional as well as modern methods and technologies in dentistry. Furthermore, to introduce different types of examinations and indications to given examinations which are done in the field. Radiation protection in dental radiological examinations is also described in this thesis. The radiology assistant may independently run the radiology department. In this thesis we find conditions needed for independent operation. The hypothesis of this thesis was formulated as follows: intraoral X-rays are still the most widespread group of examinations in the area of imaging technologies in dentistry. Information, which this thesis provides, especially concerning a number of intraoral and panoramic devices used in the Czech Republic in the years from 2002 to 2011. Data of the devices is supplemented with the number of dental CT devices which have been appearing in Czech dental surgeries since 2007. Figures of panoramatic, intraoral and extraoral performances are given further. The obtained individual data has been compared and for clarification put into charts in the ?Results? part. The obtained information is evaluated and views on the matter given in the ?Discussion? part. All the information regarding this matter is summarized at the end of this thesis. Objectives of the work have been met and the hypothesis confirmed. Contribution of the work in practice is clarification of dental diagnosis for radiology assistants, including information about frequency of devices and performances of given examinations in the Czech Republic. This thesis is supplemented with a tutorial CD which may serve as a learning tool for students in the field of Radiology assistants.

Measurement of urine extinction in depending on ionizing radiation
RADOVÁ, Štěpánka
Urine Extinction Measurement in Dependence on Ionizing Radiation Dose Radiotherapeutic workplaces use ionizing radiation for treatment of tumorous but also some non-tumorous diseases. Medical staff of these departments is exposed to ionizing radiation on everyday basis and is thus endangered by harmful consequences. On the other hand a patient should be exposed to a neglect volume of ionizing radiation outside the radiated area. The conditions defining the means of protection for medical staff and patients are arranged by the law. So called dosimeters, are used for this purpose by medical staff, and urine might belong among them. This thesis deals with the issue whether urine could serve as a biological dosimeter that might be used either for continuous monitoring or for instantaneous determination of radiation dose. The next goal was to find out at what doses of ionizing radiation changes in urine extinction occur. The results show that urine provides qualitative but irreproducible values. Namely because of varying composition of urine and for presence of substances which, apart from water radiolysis, causing urine extinction changes, represent inhibitors or activators of these chemical reactions. This is why urine cannot serve as a biological dosimeter of radiation.

Demands on radiology assistants at three-dimension visualization
ČECH, Svatopluk
Fast development of three-dimension visualization in radiology relates to more sophisticated diagnostic machines, with the development of computer technology and digitizing. Increasing demands on radiology assistants in operating programs of reconstruction images increase the importance of their position at modern radiology workplace. Three-dimension images offer exact and undistorted images of patient's anatomy, they give better diagnostic information for physicians - radiologists and more objective imagination for physicians - clinicians. They find the application in a number of examinations in skiagraphy, angiography, computer tomography, magnetic resonance and ultrasonography. We can say that three-dimension visualization substitutes other examination which are invasive and represent certain complications for a patient. The question is whether some three-dimension examination can reduce radiation load of a patient. We can suppose that digital imaging methods will be part of near future and three-dimension visualization and further development of computer technique will acquire still more impact in diagnostic of many diseases.

Impact of digital imaging on practical work of radiographer
MAREK, David
The submitted bachelor{\crq}s paper deals with the impact of digital imaging on the practical activity of a radiological assistant. In 2006, I participated in a professional seminar held by the AURA-GROUP company, which focused on digitalization of modalities in the health service. This topic seemed to be so interesting for me that I decided to find out what their experience were and what the comparison of the analogue and digital imaging would be like from the point of view of assistants working in practice and to find out more about requirements concerning a radiological assistant{\crq}s work both under the analogue and under the digital operation. In the theoretical section, the principle of X-rays is provided together with a small excursion into the history and the method of analogue and digital imaging and current methods of archiving as well. In this section, the current state of radiology is surveyed and the principles of the individual methods, their advantages and disadvantages together with future prospective are described here as well. In the practical section, I decided to verify the hypothesis that the digital imaging is more valuable in practice that the analogue one. Within the framework of quantitative methodology, the method of fact-finding through questionnaire was used. This questionnaire was presented to employees of radiological departments and the results were subsequently statistically processed and evaluated. The research sample was set up from employees working in the radiological departments in the hospitals in České Budějovice and Český Krumlov. For the purposes of this research, I made no difference as far as the individual age categories or educational background or any other criteria are concerned. This means that this selection was not limited in any way and it has, in my opinion, sufficient support both from the theory and practice and thus it has a sufficient testifying value with respect to the knowledge and experience of the radiological assistants subject to the research. The results of this work confirmed the respective hypothesis and it was demonstrated that digitalization has positive impact on practical activity of a radiological assistant for the purpose of post-processing adjustments, X-ray images archiving using the PACS system, and the fact that there is no need of the so-called wet process is particularly beneficial as well. In the summary, we should also see economic advantages, as they are one of The most important criteria for development of new methods of activities in the field of health care at the present time. The fact that the digital method of imaging saves costs relating to films, chemical substances, archiving capacities (rooms and staff) brings substantial savings, which may be utilized for example for the purchase of technologically advanced equipment.

Potančok, Martin ; Kunstová, Renáta (advisor) ; Plšková, Lenka (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the digitalization of medical records in the departments of radiology in hospitals. The aim of this thesis is to introduce the process of the digitalization of medical records in the departments of radiology, analyze the effectiveness of changes and make recommendations for non digitalized departments. The introductory section deals with the legislative and technological background of the digitizing. The second part is focused on a real case study of the implementation process. It is a modernisation of the whole department of radiology in a medium-size district hospital. The third, and most important, section contains the analysis of the implementation. There is also a comparison with the analogue option. The last section consists of recommendations for the selection process and the implementation of new technologies for non-digitalized departments of radiology for both the smallest and medium sizes.
