Rationale And Objectives: Suboptimal chest radiographs (CXR) can limit interpretation of critical findings. Radiologist-trained AI models were evaluated for differentiating suboptimal(sCXR) and optimal(oCXR) chest radiographs.
Materials And Methods: Our IRB-approved study included 3278 CXRs from adult patients (mean age 55 ± 20 years) identified from a retrospective search of CXR in radiology reports from 5 sites.
Purpose: To evaluate a new system for processing and performing inpatient STAT diagnostic imaging with respect to utilization and time-based performance metrics.
Materials And Methods: This HIPAA-compliant study had institutional review board approval; informed consent was not required. The radiology information system of a large academic medical center was queried for all inpatient diagnostic imaging exams performed and interpreted from August 1, 2010, to October 31, 2012.
Purpose: To determine the repeat rate (RR) of chest radiographs acquired with portable computed radiography (CR) and installed direct radiography (DR) and to develop and assess strategies designed to decrease the RR.
Materials And Methods: The RR and reasons for repeated digital chest radiographs were documented over the course of 16 months while a task force of thoracic radiologists, technologist supervisors, technologists, and information technology specialists continued to examine the workflow for underlying causes. Interventions decreasing the RR were designed and implemented.
