Abstract:
Diagnostic imaging routines have changed rapidly during the last two decades. The real revolution started with the introduction of computed tomography into routine clinical work in the middle of the 1970s. Simultaneously, a tremendous sophistication of ultrasonography took place, and shortly later, magnetic resonance imaging started its "career." The present report explores how the introduction of computed tomography changed imaging routines in two major Norwegian hospitals during the last 10 to 15 years.
