Dear AuntMinnieEurope Member,
The U.K. Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) has an admirable track record when it comes to producing and updating practice guidelines. It's a real bonus that anybody can download them for free from the RCR website, without even having to register or give an email address.

We were intrigued, so we asked contributing writer Becky McCall to go along and investigate. You can read about how she got on in our CT Community, or by clicking here.
