TOP 5 REASONS!
Helps to make an accurate diagnosis: Patient history provides valuable information about the patient’s medical history, including any previous illnesses, injuries, or surgeries. This information can help the radiologist identify potential underlying causes of symptoms and make an accurate diagnosis.
Avoids misinterpretation of imaging results: The patient’s medical history can help the radiologist interpret the imaging results accurately. For example, if a patient has a history of lung cancer, a spot on their lung scan might be more likely to indicate metastasis rather than pneumonia.
Helps to determine the most appropriate imaging procedure: Knowing a patient’s medical history can help the radiologist determine which imaging procedure is most appropriate for their condition, taking into account factors such as their age, medical history, and any existing medical conditions.
Identifies potential complications: If a patient has a medical condition that could complicate the imaging procedure, such as claustrophobia or an allergy to contrast agents, the radiologist needs to be aware of this information beforehand to take appropriate measures.
Improves communication with other healthcare providers: The radiologist’s interpretation of the imaging results and their recommendations for further treatment depend on the patient’s medical history. Providing a patient’s medical history to other healthcare providers can improve communication and ensure the best possible care for the patient.
