title: General practitioner referrals for static miniature chest radiography: indications and diagnostic yield.
abstract: The chest clinic based miniature radiographic service had been studied prospectively with the view to assessing its efficiency and correlating radiological and clinical findings. We conclude that such a service provides advantages for rapid patient recall and assessment. The fact that it is organized by chest physicians allows a more selected pattern of clinic referral.
