SJORANM October 2026, Volume 35, Number 3. CT scanner with five coloured priority lanes, illustrating the inpatient CT priority-system study by Jayet, Rotzinger, Denys and Fahrni.

This October 2026 issue focuses on inpatient CT scheduling and the relationship between clinical priority and access to imaging. Jayet, Rotzinger, Denys and Fahrni report a single-centre retrospective quality-control study of 1,341 CT examinations at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Switzerland, following the introduction of a five-level priority system.

The study describes progressively longer calendar-day waiting intervals from P1 (immediate) to P5 (not urgent), with lower proportions of same-day examinations in the less urgent categories. These descriptive findings do not establish a causal improvement over the previous scheduling system or demonstrate clinical benefit. The article highlights the need for prospective evaluation, including patient outcomes and monitoring of delays in lower-priority examinations.
