Guidelines for Clinical Practice in Radiology

here has been tremendous developments in imaging technology from radiology, ultrasonography, CT imaging and magnetic resonance imaging in the last two decades. With such rapid progress, some of the imaging techniques may not have been available in the medical curriculum in the earlier days and there is a generation of medical practitioners who may not understand the effectiveness of the newer technologies.

Guidelines For Clinical Practice in Radiology is specially designed for the undergraduates and the practising clinicians to assist them in the best possible way to solve a clinical problem. We hope to stimulate discussions among the radiologists and the clinicians so that more effective use of imaging can be achieved.

The idea of producing this guide was suggested by Tan Sri Dato’ (Dr.) Abu Bakar Suleiman, the Director-General of Ministry of Health. Dr. P. Sathyamoorthy, Senior Consultant Radiologist, Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Hospital Kuala Lumpur approached the Malaysian Radiological Society to formulate diagnostic imaging guidelines in clinical practice so that the best use of Departments in Clinical Radiology could be achieved.

We are indebted to the radiologists and the clinicians for their significant contributions in making this guide possible. However, recognizing that radiology is a rapidly developing speciality, we welcome feedback and suggestions for consideration in our future edition.

We hope that doctors and hospitals will find this quick reference guide genuinely helpful, taking into consideration the facilities and the types of equipment that are available.
