摘要

在最近的一次临床会议上,我听说我所在地区的全科医生即将失去为出现肌肉骨骼症状的患者申请磁共振成像(MRI)扫描的能力。我们被建议将患者转诊至肌肉骨骼临床评估和分流服务(CATS),该服务主要由肌肉骨骼高级执业医师提供,他们将对患者进行评估,并确定是否需要进行成像检查。我们希望减少患者不必要的成像检查,从而降低过度诊断的潜在危害。放射科医生很少会将肌肉骨骼磁共振成像扫描结果报告为完全正常,这可能 ...

Rammya Mathew: GPs have to be able to request MRI scans for patients in primary care
At a recent clinical meeting, I heard that GPs local to me are about to lose the ability to request magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans for patients presenting with musculoskeletal symptoms. We’re instead advised to refer our patients to a musculoskeletal clinical assessment and triage service (CATS)—staffed largely by musculoskeletal advanced practitioners, who will assess our patients and determine whether imaging is warranted. The hope is that fewer patients will have unnecessary imaging and that this will reduce the potential harms of overdiagnosis. Radiologists rarely report musculoskeletal MRI scans as entirely normal, and it can …
