Abstract

The text analyzes the additional appointments of computed tomography for patients with malignant diseases in the General Hospital of Šibenik-Knin County in the period from 2017 to 2024. It is based on the fact that CT plays an important role in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cancer patients, and that missed appointments can worsen outcomes and burden the organization of care. The aim of the work was to show the dynamics of appointments, the number of missed examinations and the characteristics of patients who did not come for the ordered examination.
