title: An overview of medical imaging in the Röentgen centenary year.
abstract: This article reviews briefly current opinion regarding optimal imaging in a number of clinical situations presenting in family practice. The choice of imaging procedure, of course, depends upon availability, particularly in country areas. Nuclear medicine especially has not yet become as widely disseminated outside the large cities. To exclude repetition, topics that are the subject of more extensive review later in this issue have been excluded from this article.
