Referral guidelines for imaging are precise statements to help the clinician
in making correct decisions on which type of radiological examination is most
appropriate., given the clinical conditions. While such guidelines are not absolute
rules, there must be good reasons for ignoring them, as they are examples of
good practice. The objectives of the referral guidelines are to improve clinical
practice, to reduce the number of unnecessary examinations and, hence, to
reduce unnecessary medical exposure. The main target group of the guidelines is
referring clinicians. Medical physicists can, however, also benefit from studying
the general scheme of the guidelines, to cooperate better with medical
staff in using the guidelines.
● A repeated examination when relevant information was available but not
obtained;
● Performing an irrelevant examination;
● Too frequent use of a particular examination;
● Inadequate clinical information preventing important clinical questions
from being answered.
