[Present problems in x-ray diagnostics--introductory review (author's transl)]. 1978

H J Maurer, and F E Stieve

Introductory article for a series on problems about appropriate applications in x-ray diagnostics; the following questions are dealt with:--Did the development of clinical x-ray diagnostics keep up with the technological development?--Are the costs arising in x-ray diagnostics still tolerable compared with the benefits?--Is it possible to reduce the somatic and genetic population exposure by means of appropriate measures or is it only possible to "simply" accept it?

D003362	Cost-Benefit Analysis	A method of comparing the cost of a program with its expected benefits in dollars (or other currency). The benefit-to-cost ratio is a measure of total return expected per unit of money spent. This analysis generally excludes consideration of factors that are not measured ultimately in economic terms. In contrast a cost effectiveness in general compares cost with qualitative outcomes.
