This survey was performed to determine the extent of utilization of Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) since its introduction in 2016 among members of cardiovascular imaging societies.
A survey regarding use of CAD-RADS was distributed to members of North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging and Society for Cardiovascular Computed Tomography.
A total of 246 surveys were completed, and results show that, although most respondents are familiar with CAD-RADS (95%), less than half (45%) report using CAD-RADS for all coronary CTA. Rates of CAD-RADS utilization were similar among physicians who work in a variety of settings. Years of clinical experience did not affect the rates of CAD-RADS utilization; however, a higher weekly volume of cardiac computed tomography was associated with higher rates of CAD-RADS utilization.
Four years after the introduction of CAD-RADS, the reporting system is used by less than half of surveyed members of North American Society for Cardiovascular Imaging and Society for Cardiovascular Computed Tomography regardless of practice model and range of practice experience with cardiac computed tomography.
本调查旨在确定自 2016 年引入以来，心血管成像学会成员对冠状动脉疾病报告和数据系统（CAD-RADS）的使用程度。
向北美心血管成像学会和心血管计算机断层成像学会的成员分发了一份关于 CAD-RADS 使用情况的调查问卷。
共完成了 246 份调查问卷，结果表明，尽管大多数受访者熟悉 CAD-RADS（95%），但只有不到一半（45%）的受访者报告在所有冠状动脉 CTA 中使用 CAD-RADS。在各种环境中工作的医生中，CAD-RADS 的使用率相似。临床经验年限并不影响 CAD-RADS 的使用率；然而，心脏计算机断层扫描的每周工作量与 CAD-RADS 的使用率呈正相关。
在 CAD-RADS 推出四年后，接受调查的北美心血管成像学会和心血管计算机断层成像学会成员中，不到一半的人使用该报告系统，无论其临床实践模式和心脏计算机断层扫描的实践经验范围如何。
