[From the x-ray department to the institute for imaging diagnosis].
The increasing sophistication of diagnostic radiology has led to rising emphasis on modality-related training and practice in radiological subspecialties. To accomplish both optimal patient management and a rational, cost-effective analysis of imaging procedures, a comprehensive approach to modern radiology is needed rather than a technology-related attitude. The imaging department, where the various imaging data are synthesized and correlation by a general practitioner of radiology, as opposed to the subspecialty radiologist, is the most suitable solution. The principles of management and the layout of such a center are described by the authors.
