[Occupational theoretical considerations on the function of the physician in imaging procedures].
The work of a radiologist was analyzed from the viewpoint of the theory of applied medicine. It was possible to do so on the basis of the results of research work done in general practice. Our pilot study embraced 120 investigations in cases referred intramurally. In 62% of them we were asked to exclude named diseases. The other patients presented symptoms or signs. Which required elucidation and we were asked to find or exclude pathology. True diagnoses were made in 8 cases only. Clinical picture was the classification in 15, mere symptoms in another 32 cases. In the remaining 73 cases no pathology was found.
