The procedures used for imaging of the gastrointestinal tract, the gall bladder and the bile ducts were registered in six Norwegian hospitals during the period 1975-90. Data obtained from all hospitals showed a significant decrease in radiological examinations of the stomach and the large bowel, and a dramatic decrease of such examinations in the case of the gall bladder and bile ducts. The changes are mainly due to the increasing use of newer methods such as ultrasonography, gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The shift in the pattern of examinations, as shown in the present study, may well have many implications for patients and for the health service as a whole.
