2020, European Journal of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :However, this study also has some limitations. Although this study represents a small population of the world and a single country’s experience, it can probably be extrapolated to other parts of the world too; similar results were found in other countries like Finland and the UK [14,20]. Imaging choices for clinicians are largely based upon the imaging techniques they have at their reach.
Reducing Inappropriate Lumbar Spine MRI for Low Back Pain: Radiology Support, Communication and Alignment Network
2018, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Our approach in fostering change in referral patterns with the use of educational sessions is not unique or sophisticated but nevertheless fomented a decreased inappropriateness and imaging utilization rate after educational sessions. A multitude of interventions for reducing imaging utilization for LBP have been attempted in the past, which have included educational workshops [13,16], auditing and feedback [11,12,18], recurrent reminders [12], CDS [14,20,21], and guideline dissemination [10,15,22]. The results and effectiveness of these approaches have been mixed.
