Can Radiology Technologists be Trained to Measure Leg Length Discrepancies as Accurately as Pediatric Radiologists?

Rationale And Objectives: Leg length discrepancy studies are labor intensive. They are procedurally simple and represent inefficient use of the radiologists' time and expertise. We hypothesized that radiology technologists could be trained to measure leg length discrepancies, and that their performance would be statistically equivalent to that of board-certified, fellowship-trained pediatric radiologists.
