  "abstract": "In modern medicine, diagnostic tests, including laboratory tests, imaging and more invasive procedures, have an important role in guiding clinical decision-making. While advancements in (imaging) technologies have undoubtedly transformed medicine and the provision of healthcare in many ways, including diagnostic accuracy, and are expected to continuously evolve, they have also created a reliance on investigation, which is increasingly a topic of concern within systems such as the National Health Service.1 Imaging, in particular, is identified as a highly overused test.1–3 For example, the increasing use and potential disutility of musculoskeletal (MSK) MRI have been identified, creating downstream cascades of unnecessary referrals, overdiagnosis, patient anxiety and healthcare costs without improving clinical outcomes.3",
