Rays unit "rays department" is one of the most important units that is
indispensable in hospitals. The diagnosis of a lot of diseases depends on this
unit. More than a hundred years since the discovery of X-rays, the use of Xrays
has developed. Some of these rays have been used in the field of treatment.
Others have been used in the field of diagnosis.
Because the X-rays devices of diagnosis have greatly developed within very
short time some confusion occurred in vacuum of rays department and other
vacuums in the departments nearby. These devices have a remarkable effect on
the role of hospitals on both service "diagnosis" and architecture. there are
amendments and changes in the department of rays from time to time due to
inventing new devices or transferring some devices towards non-centralization.
This is done for the benefit of other departments of hospital, unless there is a
strategic vision to deal with.
This paper aims at registering the great development of diagnostic rays and its
architectural effect on the design of hospital and setting up a vision to deal
with this case.
The research has proved that there is a change in the method of diagnostic
services which change the department non-centralization. Besides some
vacuums have become unwanted because they became useless after developing
the devices of rays.
