Purpose of study

The Royal College of Radiology (RCR) provides guideline criteria to order lumbar spine X-rays for back pain. An audit was undertaken in our hospital to see compliance with this guideline.

Methods

200 lumbar spine radiology requests received in the hospital radiology department from General Practitioners over a 12 month period were identified. These 200 requests and their corresponding radiology reports were retrospectively analyzed.
