and evaluates the possibility to get rid of misconceptions using animated video in the waiting room.

- 278 Patients were surveyed.

- After the video, 30% more people understand that the examiner is the technician, not the radiologist.

- Patients who think their own physician will interpret the images lowers by a 3.5 factor.

- Owing to the video, patients understand why they will not meet the radiologist.

- After the video two thirds experience more respect for the radiologist, without meeting one.
