The concept »Choosing wisely« was initiated in the United States in 2012, and is being implemented in many countries. The Swedish Society of Medicine decided to join the movement in 2020 under the Swedish name »Kloka kliniska val« (KKV). At the time of writing, some but far from all national medical specialty societies have published advice on choosing wisely adapted to Swedish conditions. This article presents a list of five wise imaging choices from the Swedish Society for Neuroradiology (SFNR), together with a few comments and an encouragement for other national societies to join in.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
