Radiology is polyvalent, as it is valuable in many ways to many groups, such as to individuals, professionals, and populations. However, not all values are positive. While Value-Based HealthCare (VBHC) has moved the focus from volume-based to value-based health care and Value-Based Radiology (VBR) has highlighted a vast variety of values in radiology, such frameworks provide no measures to differentiate, assess, and balance the various values.
