ABSTRACT
Developments in the Role of the Radiographer In the UK, the basic system of placing a red dot has developed into a three-tier system of radiographer opinion: 1 Red dot – a basic system of flagging a possible abnormality, such as
a fracture. 2 Comment system – the radiographer attaches a simple comment to
the image to explain their concern. 3 Clinical report – trained radiographers produce a detailed report,
usually some time after the examination, that is sent to the referring clinician.
