ABSTRACT
In current practice, radiological diagnostics are often assessed by both the referring clinician as well as the radiologist. Specific medical specialists like pulmonologists and orthopaedic surgeons make treatment decisions mostly on their own expertise and interpretation of radiological images, before the radiological report is available. For health care as a whole, a single assessment gives efficiency gains, and the radiologist is not disturbed by getting rid of 'bulk' and can focus on the more complex matter in which he or she is indispensable. Regular multidisciplinary meetings may serve to jointly assess images about which there is ambiguity. Combining clinical information and radiological expertise then leads to optimisation of both quality and efficiency. It makes sense and is efficient to have clinicians with specific radiological expertise, such as pulmonologists and orthopaedists, assess certain radiological examinations independently, allowing the radiologist to concentrate on more complex imaging.
