To conduct a retrospective analysis of patient referrals for computed tomography to identify the main problems, both in writing the direction itself and in its validity. Materials and methods: The patient referrals for computed tomography (CT) were analyzed at the Radiology Department of the National Scientific Center named after AN Syzganov - outpatients for 3 months. Results and discussions: it has been established that, in the main, clinicians, when issuing a referral for a study, ignore such item as a diagnosis, or replace it with the word — examination. There is also the groundlessness and incorrectness of the referrals for the studies, considering their variability and insufficient awareness of doctors both in the indications and the need for a particular study. Conclusion: Clinicians are not sufficiently aware of the correctness of referrals for computed tomography and, as a result, write out incorrect referrals.
