Abstract in brief

This scoping review analyzed 50 studies on how appropriateness of diagnostic imaging is defined and measured, highlighting that there is no standardized method currently used across research.
The studies mainly used guidelines like national recommendations and the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria, but many lacked detailed methodological descriptions, leading to inconsistent appropriateness rates.
The review found that most research focused on modalities like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, with a significant need for more multicenter, indication-specific studies, especially in pediatric and outpatient settings, to improve the assessment of imaging appropriateness.]
