“…According to the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, approximately 130 million X-ray procedures and approximately 18 million CT examinations were recorded in 2018 and the figures are increasing 13 . A critical assessment of the necessity of radiological imaging in terms of “how will it change management?” is extremely important not only in terms of radiation protection, determining the individual indication for contrast agent, and diagnostic significance, but also in terms of economy, sustainability, and value-based radiology 14 15 16 . Value-based radiology is based on the concept of creating added value for patients, the health care system, and society by providing radiology services based on scientific recommendations.…”

Background Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in radiology. Besides climate protection – economic, ecological, and social aspects are integral elements of sustainability. An overview of the scientific background of the sustainability and environmental impact of radiology as well as possibilities for future concepts for more sustainable diagnostic and interventional radiology are presented below.The three elements of sustainability:1. EcologyWith an annually increasing number of tomographic images, Germany is in one of the leading positions worldwide in a per capita comparison. The energy consumption of an MRI system is comparable to 26 four-person households annually. CT and MRI together make a significant contribution to the overall energy consumption of a hospital. In particular, the energy consumption in the idle or inactive state is responsible for a relevant proportion.2. EconomyA critical assessment of the indications for radiological imaging is important not only because of radiation protection, but also in terms of sustainability and “value-based radiology”. As part of the “Choosing Wisely” initiative, a total of 600 recommendations for avoiding unnecessary examinations were compiled from various medical societies, including specific indications in radiological diagnostics.3. Social SustainabilityThe alignment of radiology to the needs of patients and referring physicians is a core aspect of the social component of sustainability. Likewise, ensuring employee loyalty by supporting and maintaining motivation, well-being, and job satisfaction is an essential aspect of social sustainability. In addition, sustainable concepts are of relevance in teaching and research, such as the educational curriculum for residents in radiology, RADUCATION or the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
