Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of acquiring medical record information and laboratory data on the sensitivity of detecting imaging findings among Japanese radiological technologists (RTs). RTs were presented with patient's information in three distinct sequences for detecting imaging findings. True positives (TP) were identified and categorized into three groups: Group 1 (image + chief complaint), Group 2 (image + chief complaint + medical record), and Group 3 (image + chief complaint + medical record + laboratory data). Compared with Group 1, Groups 2 and 3 exhibited up to 8.3% and 16.7% higher sensitivity, respectively. Notably, Group 3 demonstrated up to 13.3% higher sensitivity than that of Group 2. Obtaining medical record information and laboratory data improved the sensitivity of imaging findings detected by RTs. This study provides valuable insights for optimizing diagnostic protocols and improving patient outcomes by leveraging supplementary clinical data to augment diagnostic accuracy.

获取病历和实验室数据对放射技师诊断影像评估敏感性的影响。

本研究旨在探讨日本放射技师（RTs）获取病历信息和实验室数据对影像发现敏感性的影响。RTs以三种不同的序列呈现患者信息，以检测影像学结果。鉴定出真阳性（TP）并将其分为三组：组1（影像+主诉）、组2（影像+主诉+病历）和组3（影像+主诉+病历+化验资料）。与1组相比，2组和3组的敏感性分别提高了8.3%和16.7%。值得注意的是，第3组的敏感性比第2组高13.3%。获得医疗记录信息和实验室数据提高了RTs检测到的成像结果的敏感性。本研究为优化诊断方案和改善患者预后提供了有价值的见解，通过利用补充临床数据来提高诊断准确性。
