AN INTRODUCTION OF SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF CLINICO-RADIOLOGICAL TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This paper is a study radiological technology from the standpoint of social science. A few stadies have been added on medicin and medical care as well. While various definitions of technology exist throughout history, studies were made here from the standpoint of philosophy, natural science and social science, respectively. Due to the uniqueness of medicine and medical care, definition of productive technology does not necessarily apply as it is. Therefore, efforts were made to define medical care technology with maximum interest on this point, and definition of radiological technology was made according to this approach. It was defined as : "Combination and connection of means (apparatuses, machinery, equipments etc.) that have been created because of the necessity to realize the goal pursued by radiologic-medical care, based on experience and knowledge (skille and intelleet) obtained by people involved in medical care." In addition, it revealed that research on radiological technology is a great science that pursues radiation technology and that its development will lead to the development of radiologic-medical care. Furthermore, studies were made on skill, ability and technique.
