Abstract:
The current policy of obtaining routine skull and chest X-rays on all psychiatric admissions to military hospitals has been examined by scrutiny of the radiology reports on all such admissions during one calendar year. No clinically unexpected finding was demonstrated in any of the 352 patients so examined. Routine radiological investigation of these patients may safely be abandoned.
