To prove objective to assess the available immobilization devices which were used in Radio- diagnosis and Imaging Department. In the trauma patients, uncomfortable patients are frequently transported to hospital using full immobilization devices. At the emergency department, immobilization is often maintained until radiological work-up is completed. In this study, we examined how these devices influence radiation exposure and noise, as a proxy for objective image quality. The Conventional Radiographs (CR), Computed Tomography (CT) and magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans were made using an immobilized on various types of immobilization devices. Manufacturers of immobilization devices should take Radiological properties of their devices into account in the development and process. This study included 100 patients in which 61 male, 37 female and 2 pediatric patients. Then the immobilization devices have been used on these patients. These patients were divided in the four machines; like Computed Tomography (CT) and magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in the building of MMIMSR and SUPER SPECIALTY HOSPITAL Mullana-Ambala (Haryana). The result of immobilization devices ; In maximum age group (20-49), 45 foam pads, 5 velcro straps, 16 head rests, 17 knee pads and 9 sand bags were used on out of 54 patients. On majority of the patients, foam pad was used. In minimum age group (0-19), 10 foam pads, 10 velcro straps, 3 head rests, 1 knee pads and 2 sand bags were used on out of 11 patients. On majority of the patients, foam pads and velcro straps were used. Conclude that, generally patients were ready to use immobilization devices but in some cases patient refused to use immobilization devices. As we can see in fig.8.11 and 8.12 that majority of patient used devices and some of did not. Majority of patients were ready to use these devices because they believe that these devices helps to improve scanning and somewhere they are comfortable with these devices. As we mentioned earlier that few patients refused to use these devices and this is because somewhere they had fear to use these devices and generally, these patients were growing children.
