Several studies from the primary care literature have highlighted barriers, such as poor communication between specialists and generalists [18–20], patient sharing among multiple physicians [21], and frequent use of health care services across multiple settings in different health care systems [22,23].

Radiologist–clinician communication is essential also for patient safety [25], but the perceived value and purpose of a consultation may differ between the referring and the consulted clinician [24]. While opinions and experiences of referring clinicians may be different, the present study focused only on the experiences of the consulted part, i.e. the radiologists.
