NEMT, Nordic Evaluation of Medical Technology, conducted a study in 1988-89 on the use and diffusion of diagnostic radiology technologies in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, i.e. the Nordic Countries. The study analysed the responses to a questionnaire sent to all Nordic radiology departments. Our findings show a variation from about 500 to nearly 900 radiology examinations per 1000 inhabitants among the Nordic Countries. Some of the differences are explained by unique structural factors of the health care system in each country, even if they all provide comparable public health services. Other differences are explained by variations in medical practice, accessibility to new imaging modalities, and replacement policies. This paper summarizes the results of the study.
北欧医疗技术评估（NEMT）于1988 - 1989年对丹麦、芬兰、冰岛、挪威和瑞典（即北欧国家）的诊断放射技术的使用和传播情况进行了一项研究。该研究分析了向所有北欧放射科发出的调查问卷的回复情况。我们的研究结果表明，北欧国家每1000名居民的放射检查次数在约500次至近900次之间存在差异。即使各国都提供类似的公共卫生服务，但部分差异是由每个国家医疗保健系统独特的结构因素造成的。其他差异则可归因于医疗实践的差异、新成像技术的可及性以及替换政策。本文总结了该研究的结果。
