| 抄録 | As one of the key pillars of work style reform for physicians, task shifting and sharing from radiologists to radiological technologists has been considered. In May 2021, the Radiological Technologists Act was amended, allowing for the expansion of several duties. Alongside these legal and regulatory changes, a notice from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare was issued, highlighting tasks to be particularly promoted under the current system prior to the amendment of the Radiological Technologists Act. These amendments authorize radiological technologists to perform advanced and specialized tasks, such as securing venous access for contrast agent administration, which require significantly higher skill levels than their traditional roles. However, the amended legislation did not include specific guidelines, rules, or considerations for the practical implementation of these new duties in daily medical practice, especially from the perspectives of patient safety and quality of care. To address this, the Japan Radiological Society, the Japanese College of Radiology, and the Japan Association of Radiological Technologists collaborated with other related societies to develop guidelines on five key topics:-Guidelines for Safe Conduct of CT/MRI Contrast-Enhanced Examinations: Considering the expanded scope of practice for radiological technologists. -Guidelines for Safe Conduct of Nuclear Medicine Examinations: Aligned with the expanded responsibilities of radiological technologists. -Guidelines for Clinical application of Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT). -Guidelines for Safe Conduct of Angiography and Interventional Radiology (IR): Adapted for the expanded roles of radiological technologists. -Guidelines for Reporting Findings of STAT Imaging: Addressing urgent conditions with potential impact on life prognosis.
