Sponsor's own description

Terminology in radiology reports may cause patients harm by anchoring to or justifying a particular diagnosis. This phenomenon is known as the nocebo effect. MRI may cause patients to pursue more invasive procedures with little added benefit. This study aims to reproduce a study to determine the impact of clinical reporting on patient care and outcomes for those suffering from lower back pain.
