A Campaign Against Medical Imaging Over-Usage

William R. Hendee, professor of radiology, radiation oncology, biophysics and bioethics at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, has recently called on radiologists across USA to mount a campaign against medical imaging over usage. Although Hendee acknowledges the benefits of imaging procedures in enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and guiding medical treatment, yet he objects on imaging procedures which are not justified in such a matter, and do not prove necessary for the patient.
