This study investigated the effectiveness of assistive work of radiological technologists (RTs) in conducting computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during emergencies.
In total, 2681 examinations in 2294 patients who underwent CT or MRI during our after-hours clinic hours were conducted. The emergency of the diseases was classified into three categories: emergency diseases, semi-emergency diseases, and non-emergency diseases. The reading report of the RTs group, resident physicians (RPs) group, and senior physicians (SPs) group were used to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy.
The RTs group had an accuracy of 87.0% for emergency and semi-emergency diseases. The sensitivity of the combined RTs/RPs/SPs group was higher than that of the RPs and SPs group alone.
After-hours help from RTs for emergency and semi-emergency diseases enhanced sensitivity and thus demonstrated the effectiveness in emergency care.
本研究调查了放射技师(RTs)在紧急情况下协助进行计算机断层扫描(CT)/磁共振成像(MRI)的有效性。
对在我们非工作时间诊所接受CT或MRI检查的2294例患者共进行了2681次检查。疾病的紧急程度分为三类:紧急疾病、半紧急疾病和非紧急疾病。使用放射技师组、住院医师(RPs)组和高级医师(SPs)组的阅读报告来计算敏感性、特异性和准确性。
放射技师组对紧急和半紧急疾病的诊断准确率为87.0%。放射技师/住院医师/高级医师联合组的敏感性高于单独的住院医师组和高级医师组。
放射技师在非工作时间对紧急和半紧急疾病的协助提高了敏感性,从而证明了在紧急护理中的有效性。
