摘要

简介:横断面成像模式,如计算机断层扫描(CT)和磁共振成像(MRI),是医疗保健中准确诊断的必要条件。因此,对CT和MRI参数有充分的了解是必要的,以便在对患者风险最小的情况下获得良好的图像质量。先前的研究表明,在CT和MRI参数方面存在显著的知识差距;因此,本研究旨在评估吉达本科生和技术人员的大学课程和医院临床实践的有效性。方法:通过对吉达的本科生和放射技师进行有效的结构化横断面调查,收集定量数据。调查包括36个封闭式选择题。11个问题与CT参数相关,25个问题与MRI参数相关。结果:正态性检验显示CT和MRI评分均呈非正态分布(p = 0.0001)。CT切片的Kruskal-Wallis检验的p值为0.292,各组间所有MRI切片的p值也均为0.05。尽管各组(三年级学生、四年级学生、实习学生、放射技师等)的知识得分略有差异,但实习学生的平均CT知识得分最高。在核磁共振成像得分方面,虽然各组的平均水平相似,但技术人员的平均标准差最低。这些结果可能归因于CT和MRI参数是自动化的。结论:这些发现表明该样本中CT和MRI参数的知识水平存在差异。我们建议实施年度进修课程,以提高医疗保健实践和放射学教育计划的质量。

Evaluating the Knowledge of Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Parameters Between Undergraduate Students and Radiographers in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: Cross-sectional imaging modalities, such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), are essential for accurate diagnoses in medical care. Therefore, a solid understanding of CT and MRI parameters is necessary to obtain good image quality with minimal risk to patients. Previous studies have showed a significant knowledge gap regarding CT and MRI parameters; thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of university curricula and clinical practice in hospitals among undergraduate students and technologists in Jeddah.

Methods: Quantitative data were collected through a validated structured cross-sectional survey administered to a cluster sample of undergraduate students and radiographers in Jeddah. The survey consisted of 36 closed-ended multiple-choice questions. Eleven questions were related to CT parameters and 25 were associated with MRI parameters.

Results: Normality tests revealed that both the CT and MRI scores were non-normally distributed (p = 0.0001). The Kruskal-Wallis test for the CT section yielded a p-value of 0.292, while all MRI sections also yielded p > 0.05 among the groups. Despite slight differences in knowledge scores across groups (3rd-year students, 4th-year students, internship students, radiographers, and others), internship students showed the highest mean CT knowledge scores. In terms of MRI scores, while the mean averages were similar across the groups, the technologists showed the lowest average standard deviation. These results could be attributed to the fact that the CT and MRI parameters were automated.

Conclusion: These findings indicate a variation in the knowledge levels of CT and MRI parameters within this sample. We recommend the implementation of an annual refresher course to enhance the quality of healthcare practices and radiology education programs.
