Imaging is currently performed by technologists / x-ray operators and radiographers and being interpreted by general practitioners in many medical setup in Malaysia. Many practitioners have had little formal training in the interpretation of images. At some centers, the general practitioners themselves perform the imaging using an x-ray unit.
