Abstract
Compared with chart review, analysis of administrative data identified scans that were appropriate but underestimated inappropriate ordering. Contrary to expectations, chart review resulted in more scans being classified as inappropriate. The administrative method is economically feasible for identifying the overuse of LS MRI, but it underestimates the true extent of inappropriate ordering.
