OSTI ID:6603631

This bibliography represents one of many professional educational activities designed to eliminate nonefficacious x-ray exposure by educating those individuals responsible for requesting x-ray examinations to the factors that should be considered in the selection process. It was developed to complement the work of the BRH-supported Chest X-Ray Referral Criteria Panel. This panel is working to develop appropriate guidelines for selecting asymptomatic persons for chest x-ray screening examinations. Further, this bibliography will serve as a resource guide for educators, students, radiologists, and other medical specialists. It is divided into 10 main topics and contains references chosen for their relevance to the subject of patient selection. Each article contains an abstract to allow individuals a quick review of an article.
