Every five years, the Japanese Society of Circulation Imaging Technology implements a questionnaire investigation that covers the entire country. A total of 1,020 facilities throughout Japan where cardiac catheterization can be performed were investigated. The questionnaire response rate was 47.7%. The main points of investigation were actual status, image management, photographic conditions, cinefilm development processing, and exposure protection, among others. Correlations were found between the number of beds in the facility and the number of examinations done and the number of radiological technologists employed. We also obtained information concerning the staff engaged in examinations. It was also possible to obtain information regarding the contents of the examinations implemented throughout country, the actual status of IVR, and the number of examinations carried out. Questions regarding picture management revealed that digital imaging and networking were becoming more widespread. In the area of exposure protection, it was found that staff exposure was higher than expected. It is necessary to improve exposure protection in vascular examinations for IVR.
