About this episode

Dr. Linda Chu discusses with experts recommendations to optimize radiography utilization in healthcare.

Dr. Linda Chu speaks with Dr. Eddy Zandee and Dr. Kirk Davis about multidisciplinary expert consensus recommendations aimed at reducing the use of low yield radiographs and improving imaging appropriateness across healthcare settings. They explore which common radiographic exams may offer limited clinical value, when CT or MRI may be more appropriate, and how education and workflow changes can help optimize imaging utilization. Optimizing Radiography Utilization: Multidisciplinary Expert Consensus Recommendations Endorsed by the Society of Academic Bone Radiologists, Society of Skeletal Radiology, American Societyof Emergency Radiology, Orthopaedic Trauma Association, American Academy of Emergency Medicine, and American Rhinologic Society.
