It is an integral part of a complex medical and legal process that requires the utmost care and professionalism. Radiological specialists bear consider­able responsibility by providing the diagnostic basis for one of the most critical decisions in medicine through the precise and ­protocol-compliant performance of the examination. A thorough understanding of the clinical background, the exact technical parameters, and potential pitfalls is therefore essential for all staff working in this field to ensure the safety and validity of the diagnosis at all times.
