{"title":"Image labeling. The need for a better look.","authors":"T Hunter","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>The important message in this editorial is for radiologists to critically examine how well images are labeled in their own department. If it is not satisfactory, then institute corrective measures. These can range from sophisticated computer programs for printing flashcards to merely sending the chief technologist all those films one comes across with unreadable labels. The quality of the image labeling should also be a consideration when purchasing CT, MRI, ultrasound, computed radiography and digital angiography equipment. The fact that you consider this important should be communicated to equipment manufacturers in the hope that they will pay more attention to it and offer more flexibility for each department to design its own labels. In any event, I feel consistently bad film labeling results in sloppy radiology with possible patient harm and unpleasant legal consequences for the radiologist.</p>","PeriodicalId":79550,"journal":{"name":"Administrative radiology : AR","volume":"13 10","pages":"28-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21010971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The physician should be cautioned however, that the indiscriminate use of these codes without accurate documentation of the medical necessity could result in penalties and/or pay back in the event of an audit.
