Yes / Increasing diagnostic capacity is a national priority to expedite the timeliness and appropriateness of patient treatment interventions. Imaging—encompassing a range of technologies including X-ray, CT, MRI, nuclear medicine and ultrasound—is a key diagnostic service and central to decision-making in most, if not all, disease pathways.

As a result, it is imperative that we maximise service efficiency while optimising patient outcomes. / The manuscript version differs from the published version.
