    Educating Radiologists About Pain
    (Elsevier, 2016-08) Gunderman, Richard B.; Fogler, Brian D.; Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, IU School of Medicine
    It is vital that radiologists understand pain. After all, it is the most common symptom that leads patients to seek medical care, and represents one of the most common indications for diagnostic and interventional radiological procedures 1, 2 and 3. In addition, radiological procedures can be a source of pain to patients, particularly in the context of interventional procedures 4 and 5. By gaining a better understanding of the nature, assessment, and effective management of pain, radiologists and radiology personnel can do a better job of caring for patients.
