title: [Evidence-based medicine: towards evidence-based radiology].
abstract: To present evidence-based medicine (EBM), a concept that has been emerging over the decade, and to propose a reflexion about the role of radiologists in this new paradigm of medical practice. Clinical decision making. This new paradigm proposes the use of the best evidence and patient's participation in making medical decisions with de-emphasizing of intuition and empirical medicine. Application to a practice policy. EBM imposes new skills for physicians: clinical practice guideline is a witness of its importance. The main objective of EBM is to assist practitioners in their decision making process, but limits of this new concept must be known when it is used to control health-care resources or practice policies. Towards evidence-based radiology. What is the place for radiologists (diagnosis or interventional) in this new very popular paradigm?
