Diagnosis vs. Interpretation

Page 3: Normal Radiographic Appearances / Anatomy  -

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Diagnosis is the responsibility of the clinician caring for the patient.

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Interpretation is the result of evaluation of specific circumscribed tests or investigative procedures, such as radiology, and may be carried out by a specialist or the clinician caring for the patient.

Diagnosis (dia: through; gnosis: knowledge) is the result of gathering knowledge via the history, clinical examination, and any other investigative procedures that are deemed necessary.

It is possible that the radiologic interpretation may seem to provide all of the information that is needed for the diagnosis...

…but it must still be correlated with the clinical findings before a diagnosis is made.

Terminology is of importance. It will guide us in organizing our thoughts, allow us to search for information that we need, explain this to our patients, and communicate accurately with our colleagues.

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Radiolucent An adjective used to describe any substance (part of the patient) that readily permits the transmission of x rays.

Page 10: Normal Radiographic Appearances / Anatomy  -

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Radiopaque An adjective used to describe any substance (part of the patient) that blocks the transmission of x rays.

Note Both adjectives refer to the object not the image on the radiograph. The terms are relative. Bone is more radiopaque than soft tissue, but more radiolucent than enamel.

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Density An adjective used to describe the ability of the film (or part of the film) to block the transmission of light. In other words, it refers to the “blackness” of all or part of the film.

Normal Radiographic Appearances

Contrast The difference in density of two neighboring areas on the radiograph (usually determined using a stepwedge).
