Ninety general practitioners responded to a questionnaire about the role of radiology in patients with low back pain. Their clinical indications for requesting radiographs were mostly in agreement with the opinions of radiologists, but nearly 80% requested investigations for their own or patients' reassurance. Understanding of the terms used by radiologists was good, although 25% thought that acute disc prolapse could be demonstrated on plain films. Previous training in radiology did not seem to influence knowledge. When general practitioners understood radiological terms they had clear therapeutic and specialist referral preferences. Poorly understood terms and those with which they were familiar but unclear about the implications for management were also identified.
90名全科医生回复了一份关于放射学在腰痛患者中作用的调查问卷。他们要求进行X光检查的临床指征大多与放射科医生的意见一致,但近80%的人要求进行检查是为了让自己或患者放心。对放射科医生使用的术语理解良好,尽管25%的人认为急性椎间盘突出可以在平片上显示出来。以前接受的放射学培训似乎并未影响知识水平。当全科医生理解了放射学术语后,他们有明确的治疗和专科转诊偏好。还确定了一些理解不佳的术语以及他们熟悉但对管理影响不明确的术语。
