Chest radiography for general practitioners--a low yield investigation.

P B Guyer, A G Chalmers.   

Abstract

Of 1,163 chest rediographs requested by general practitioners, 67.5 per cent were normal, 21 per cent revealed an apparently relevant lesion, and 11.5 per cent an apparently irrelevant abnormality. The number of referrals for chest radiography should be reduced to cut costs in an expensive specialty.
