Communication of information is only as effective as the system that conveys the information.
There is a reciprocal duty of information exchange.
The ordering physician or other relevant health care provider also shares in the responsibility for obtaining results of imaging studies he or she has ordered. Formulating an imaging interpretation requires the commitment and cooperation of administrators, clinicians, and interpreting physicians. Whenever possible, previous reports and images should be available for review and comparison with the current study. A request for imaging should include relevant clinical information, a working diagnosis, and/or pertinent clinical signs and symptoms.
In addition, including a specific question to be answered can be helpful. Such information helps tailor the most appropriate imaging study to the clinical scenario and enhances the clinical relevance of the report, thus promoting optimal patient care.
