The objective of this study was to assess doctor's views on imaging guidelines, and an attempt to establish why personal and local clinical practice patterns regarding imaging may differ from current guidelines.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Canadian doctors who treat breast cancer were invited by email to complete an online survey developed by members of the research team.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Responses were received from 173 physicians (26% response rate). Most (82%) indicated awareness of at least one published imaging guideline.

However, most indicated that this recommendation has not influenced them to order less imaging. Over 95% of doctors identified suspicious history, physical examination findings and inflammatory breast cancer as important factors for performing imaging. The majority did not feel that patient demand, fear of litigation or ease of access to imaging influenced their ordering for imaging.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority of breast cancer doctors are aware of and generally agree that guidelines pertaining to staging imaging for early breast cancer are reflective of evidence. Despite this, adherence is variable and factors such as local practice patterns and disease biology may play a role. Alternative strategies, beyond simply publishing recommendations, are therefore required if there is to be a sustained change in doctor behaviour.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jep.12240","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,14]],"date-time":"2014-10-14T11:04:31Z","timestamp":1413284671000},"page":"67-73","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Imaging for metastatic disease in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer: are doctor's perceptions in keeping with the guidelines?"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Demetrios","family":"Simos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Division of Medical Oncology Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Hutton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine Centre for Practice Changing Research Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ian D.","family":"Graham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine Centre for Practice Changing Research Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angel","family":"Arnaout","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean\u2010Michel","family":"Caudrelier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology Division of Radiation Oncology Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Clemons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine Division of Medical Oncology Ottawa Hospital Research Institute University of Ottawa  Ottawa Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6605323"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/annonc\/mdi063"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/B:BREA.0000003917.05413.ac"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Radiologic tests after a new diagnosis of breast cancer","volume":"3","author":"Dillman R.
