    Life: Medical diagnostic imaging has come a long way since the
    discovery of X-rays in 1895 allowed physicians to look inside the
    human body for the first time without using a scalpel.

    Doctors and patients should be more aware of the long term
    risks of radiological investigations In some hospitals
    patients are now more likely to get a total body scan than
    a thorough history and careful physical examination. Modern
    physicians are good at talking with complicated machines
    but not always as good at listening to patients. In their
    turn, patients often demand more examinations and feel
    reassured by high tech ones. The economic drive of
    expensive testing and doctors' legitimate concerns about
    medicolegal action if they don't use the latest
    investigations have done the rest. "
