Changes in radiological routines following the introduction of computed tomography. A retrospective study from two Norwegian hospitals.

Diagnostic imaging routines have changed rapidly during the last two decades. The real revolution started with the introduction of computed tomography into routine clinical work in the middle of the 1970s. Simultaneously, a tremendous sophistication of ultrasonography took place, and shortly later, magnetic resonance imaging started its "career." The present report explores how the introduction of computed tomography changed imaging routines in two major Norwegian hospitals during the last 10 to 15 years.

Ultrasonography in medical imaging. Influence on diagnostic routines.

It has been assumed that the introduction of ultrasonography in diagnostic imaging has led to dramatic changes in imaging routines by replacing other modalities like angiography, intravenous urography, and computerized tomography in several diagnostic procedures. The present retrospective study from five Norwegian hospitals during the period from 1978 to 1991 confirm this assumption, showing how ultrasonographic examinations have influenced diagnostic routines.

Imaging routines for the esophagus, small bowel, abdomen, and liver in six Norwegian hospitals from 1975 to 1993.

The roles of liver scintigraphy in addition to other imaging modalities of the esophagus and the small bowel and the use of abdominal flat films were studied in six Norwegian hospitals between 1975 and 1993. Parallel to the introduction of ultrasonography, the use of liver scintigraphy disappeared almost completely. Barium studies of the esophagus, to some degree, have been replaced by endoscopy, whereas use of barium studies of the small bowel remained unchanged or increased. The number of flat-film studies of the abdomen performed remained unchanged.
