Abstract

Inappropriate diagnostic imaging (DI) is a burgeoning issue and embraces its overuse and its misapplication. The obverse problem is one of underuse – that is when patients who should undergo imaging fail to do so. This article attempts to define these problems, examines the causes and effects and suggests some potential solutions.
