Some of the numbers in radiology used as a criterion to make or role out a diagnosis for some conditions. These numbers should not be taken for granted since personalized medicine state that every patient is different and should be treated based on his/her condition. Those numbers can’t be used as a golden slandered in all case. This commentary will focus on some examples where numbers as a criterion failed or made the diagnosis impossible.Keywords: Numbers; Radiology; Reference value; Personalized medicine; Criteria
