Accuracy of information on imaging requisitions: does it matter?

Mervyn D Cohen. J Am Coll Radiol. 2007 Sep.

Abstract

Imaging requisitions are the major manner in which clinicians communicate to radiologists with regard to imaging studies they are requesting. Errors in the information provided on requisitions may have a deleterious effect on the quality of the imaging reports and services provided by radiologists. The author reviews all of the many problems and errors that can occur on imaging requisitions in addition to inadequate clinical histories. The author then discusses how to identify and resolve these errors.
