| Abstract |
The data collected in this article were gathered from various practising radiology departments around Europe. The focus is communication and confidentiality between patient and radiologist, specifically the ramifications of PACS and other electronic systems for the confidentiality of patient information. The differences and similarities in practice across Europe are explored. Main Messages • Monitoring of access to confidential patient imaging information does not appear to have kept pace with electronic image storage systems • Europe lacks a unified approach to define clear guidelines for patient confidentiality and guidance on what constitutes invasion of patient privacy • Specific training in communication is not routinely incorporated into radiology training schemes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 November 2013.
All research outputs
#19,015,393
of 24,217,893 outputs
Outputs from Insights into Imaging
#797
of 1,072 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,540
of 198,804 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Insights into Imaging
#6
of 9 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,217,893 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,072 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.2. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 198,804 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 9 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
