초록

대한심장혈관영상의학회는 심장 CT 촬영에 대한 적정한 영상의학수준을 제공하여 심장 CT를 이용하는 의사와 환자에게 도움을 주고자 심장 CT에 대한 권고안을 마련하였다. 근거중심의학에 기초한 권고안 마련을 위하여 국내 병 의원에 대한 설문조사와 국내외의 문헌조사, 그리고 전문가들의 의견을 참고하였다. 이 권고안과 다르다고 해서 일반적인 영상의학 수준보다 못하다는 의미는 아니며, 임상 및 영상의학과 의사는 환자의 상태나 임상적 필요성 등 납득할 만한 이유가 있을 경우 이 권고안과 다른 합리적 결정을 할 수 있다. 이 권고안은 기술의 발전과 의료환경의 변화에 따라 계속 수정되어야 한다. 이 권고안은 의료제공의 법적인 기준을 정하고자 하는 것이 아니며 대한심장혈관영상의학회는 의료행위 또는 임상적인 판단에 대한 법적인 소송에 이 권고안이 사용되는 것은 반대한다. 이 권고안의 목적은 심장 CT를 시행하고 관리하는 임상 및 영상의학과 의사와 관련된 의료종사자에게 성인의 심장 CT에서 표준화된 영상기법을 제공하기 위한 것이다.

The Korean Society of Cardiovascular Imaging (KOCSI) has issued a guideline for the use of cardiac CT imaging in order to assist clinicians and patients in providing adequate level of medical service. In order to establish a guideline founded on evidence based medicine, it was designed based on comprehensive data such as questionnaires conducted in international and domestic hospitals, intensive journal reviews, and with experts in cardiac radiology. The recommendations of this guideline should not be used as an absolute standard and medical professionals can always refer to methods non-adherent to this guideline when it is considered more reasonable and beneficial to an individual patient's medical situation. The guideline has its limitation and should be revised appropriately with the advancement medical equipment technology and public health care system. The guideline should not be served as a measure for standard of care. KOCSI strongly disapproves the use of the guideline to be used as the standard of expected practice in medical litigation processes.
