Abstract

The huge increase in the number of medical imaging examinations being carried out has meant a corresponding increase in imaging costs in health- care budgets. In this article the authors argue that the current perspective of costs should be broadened to include negative collateral and external effects in order to assess the true cost of medical imaging.
