title: Patient administration: how to avoid bottle-necks.
abstract: The object of this paper has been to outline and to assist others in eliminating the obstacles of which we are all aware in any busy radiography department. From experience the value of team work from the porters to the radiologists cannot be over-emphasized. Any weak link in the chain can produce a bottle-neck and by tackling the elementary problems which we have discussed, a smooth day to day operation of the department, can generally be achieved, making the launching of the computer a relatively simple task.
