Guidelines for lumbar spine radiography were agreed by consultation between staff in the radiology, accident and emergency and neurosurgical departments of a large teaching hospital. Study of 322 consecutive patients over an eight month period showed that the proportion of patients referred for radiography was reduced from 48.4% to 27.2% following introduction of the guidelines (p = 0.0002). Successful use of such guidelines requires cooperation between clinical and radiological staff and frequent review of performance.
一家大型教学医院的放射科、急诊科和神经外科工作人员经协商达成了腰椎X线摄影指南。对连续8个月的322例患者进行研究发现，采用该指南后，接受X线摄影检查的患者比例从48.4%降至27.2%（p = 0.0002）。成功使用此类指南需要临床和放射科工作人员之间的合作以及对工作表现的定期评估。
