Abstract

This study was conducted to provide a basis for planning Radiological technologists supply and career counseling of college students by investigating the distribution and status of Radiological technologists and expensive medical equipment increased trend in Korea. The data was collected from August to September 2014 through related associations and national agencies. Radiological technologists working in the domestic medical institutions in 2014 were confirmed as a trend that continues to increase over the previous year to a total 18,988 and 37.3 per 100,000 population but the increase number was less than the number of Radiological technician licensee annually. Distribution of expensive medical equipments is as follows: the total number of CT was 1,873 in 2014 decreased compared to the previous year, the total number of MRI and PET was 1,261 and 207 increased over the previous year but the increased width decreased. In the future a variety of jobs and quality improvement of Radiological technician will be needed with a steady workforce monitoring.

본 연구는 국내 방사선사와 고가의료장비의 분포 현황과 증가 추이를 조사하여 방사선사 수급 계획 및 대학생들의 취업 상담 등을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 수행되었으며, 관련 협회 및 국가기관 등에서 제공하는 자료를 2014년 8월부터 9월까지 조사하여 활용하였다. 조사결과 국내 요양기관에서 근무하는 방사선사는 2014년 현재 총 18,988명, 인구 10만 명당 37.3명으로 전년 대비 계속 증가하고 있는 추세로 확인되었으나 매년 방사선사 면허취득자 보다 적은 수였다. 고가의료장비의 분포 현황은 2014년 기준 CT 총 1,873대로 전년대비 감소하였고, MRI와 PET는 각각 1,261대와 207대로 전년대비 증가하였으나 증가 폭이 감소하고 있어 고가의료장비의 증가 추세는 둔화될 것으로 사료된다. 앞으로 방사선사들이 일할 수 있는 다양한 일자리 창출과 함께 질적인 향상은 물론 방사선사 인력 현황의 꾸준한 모니터링이 필요할 것이다.
