C. Blackmore, F. A. Mann, B. Nuñez Jr.] Objective: To assess the variation in practice for selected clinical scenarios among members of the American Society of Emergency Radiology. Methods: A survey was distributed to assess the standard imaging approach to nine common emergency radiology clinical scenarios. Institutional demographics were also assessed. The respondent's institution was used as the primary unit of analysis. Results: A total of 140 institutions were included in the primary analysis. Major variation was identified in the imaging approach to all scenarios studied. Practice size and type did not explain the variation. However, significant differences (P < 0.006) were observed between practice in the United States and the remainder of the world. Conclusions: There is no consensus among the members of the American Society of Emergency Radiology as to the best imaging approach to nine common clinical problems. The identification of this variation may serve as the seed for future research and discussion.
