Abstract

In this presentation, Dr Moseley considers the work of Fryback and Thornbury and challenges radiologists to rethink their contribution to diagnostic workup of patients. She uses Fryback and Thornbury’s hierarchal model of efficacy to shed new light on the technical quality of images; the interpretation of imaging with regards to diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity; diagnostic thinking; patient care management planning; patient outcomes; and societal costs and benefits.
