Abstract

Aim: To investigate how breast radiologists from Jordan and Australia differ in accuracy when examining the set of test screening cases. Materials & methods: A total of 27 Jordanian and 115 Australian breast radiologists were requested to read 60 mammographic images and to indicate the location of any perceived lesion and record a confidence level ranging from 1 to 5. Jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic, location sensitivity and specificity were calculated and compared for both Australian and Jordanian readers. Results: Australian readers achieved significantly higher readings accuracy than Jordanian readers retrospectively in terms of Jackknife alternative free-response receiver operating characteristic (75th percentile values: 0.863 vs 0.600; p = 0.001) and location sensitivity (75th percentile values 0.673 vs 0.571; p = 0.022). Conclusion: Australian radiologists achieved higher performance in reading breast mammograms than Jordanian radiologists.

约旦和澳大利亚放射科医生阅读同一组测试筛选病例的准确性

目的:调查来自约旦和澳大利亚的乳腺放射科医生在检查一组测试筛查病例时的准确性差异。材料与方法:共有27名约旦和115名澳大利亚乳腺放射科医生被要求阅读60张乳房x线照片，并指出任何感知到的病变的位置，并记录从1到5的置信水平。计算并比较了澳大利亚和约旦读者的刀切式自由反应受体工作特性、定位敏感性和特异性。结果:在Jackknife可选自由反应接受者操作特征方面，澳大利亚读者的阅读准确性显著高于约旦读者(第75百分位值:0.863 vs 0.600;P = 0.001)和位置敏感性(第75百分位值0.673 vs 0.571;p = 0.022)。结论:澳大利亚放射科医生在阅读乳房x光片方面的表现优于约旦放射科医生。
