The aim of this research is to evaluate the archiving efficiency in National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu (NOHE) and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku-ozalla. It is a prospective study which evaluates the archiving procedures used in the two Federal institutions.
The result showed that National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital encountered 2.1317% and 1.5625% loss of radiographs respectively within the duration of this research.
To improve the archiving procedure in the two federal institutions, standard techniques must be practiced.Â

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The radiology department is one of the departments in a hospital that provide medical care and a wide range of diagnostic services such as computer tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, radionuclide imaging and conventional x – ray services used in patient care.
The major recording medium used in image acquisition and archiving is the x- ray film which are usually placed in file jacket and stored in shelves1.
While poor storage condition will hasten this deterioration process, good storage procedure will increase the shelf –life of the films. Poor storage condition and ageing are indicated by a decrease in the archival permanence and contrast of the image2.
The radiographs are stored in shelves in rooms free from gases such as formaldehyde, hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen peroxide and ammonia as they tend to reduce the archival permanence2. The radiographs are filed in shelves either according to patient x – ray number, hospital number, region of body examined or imaging modality used or a combination of any of the types.
This helps in serial arrangement of they can easily be retrieved. In addition to importance of proper film archiving for easy retrieval, it is also important for educational purposes for training medical student in the field of radiology, medico legal cases, conducting researches and in policy making in the department.
Due to advances in technology, some departments currently use archiving system known as Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). This acquires, manipulates, transports and stores radiographic images digitally. The introduction of PACS has made it possible for radiographers and other hospital personnel to efficiently archive and retrieve patient’s radiographs without much difficulty3.
Patient’s radiographs are very important in diagnosis and treatment therefore must be properly archived so that they are not misplaced or lost and can easily be retrieved. This work is aimed at evaluating the film archiving methodsin two federal health institutions in Enugu State.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
- The film archiving techniques in University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital Enugu and National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu have not been evaluated
- From observation, there have been difficulties in retrieving patient radiographs and the reasons have not been ascertained
- From observation, there have been incidence of loss of patient’s radiograph and the reasons have not be ascertained
OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
- To compare the archiving technique used in the two hospitals
- To ascertain the reason for loss of radiographs and reason for difficulties in retrieving patients radiographs
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
- The result of this study will provide information that will help policy makers on how to improve the efficiency of the archiving system in radiology departments.
- The result of this study will provide information on ways of reducing loss of radiographs
- The study will reveal the importance of film archiving
SCOPE OF STUDY
The research study will be conducted in the radiological departments of two federalhealth institutions in Enugu State; the National Orthopaedic Hospital Enugu (NOHE) and University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku – ozalla
