Although medical tests and procedures can save lives, sometimes too much medical intervention can be harmful. In low back pain, for example, high numbers of X-ray, CT and MRI scans are provided unnecessarily. There is good evidence that imaging scans for low back pain can cause more harm than good. At the same time, people can miss out on treatments that we know to be effective. This fellowship will enable me to discover ways to ensure people receive the right care for low back pain.

虽然医学测试和程序可以挽救生命，但有时过多的医疗干预可能是有害的。例如，在腰痛中，不必要地提供大量的X射线、CT和MRI扫描。有很好的证据表明，下背痛的成像扫描可能弊大于利。与此同时，人们可能会错过我们知道有效的治疗。这个奖学金将使我能够发现如何确保人们得到正确的照顾腰痛。
