After-hour trauma-radiograph interpretation in the emergency centre of a District Hospital
2022, African Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :This may have contributed to this finding. Notwithstanding the limitations of comparing studies of radiological reporting performance, the 77% overall accuracy achieved by EC staff in this study is well within the 44% - 99% range [ref] documented in the international literature for non-radiologist reporting of conventional trauma radiographs in the clinical environment [13,22,36]. A major strength of this study was its foundation on two robust digital databases, one being an electronic medical record and the other a picture archiving and communication system.
Smartphone evaluation of postero-anterior chest x-rays: An inter-observer study
2021, American Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :No significant difference was determined in either of the two groups [4]. Differences up to 16.8% were shown between emergency medicine specialists and radiologists with regard to interpretation of PA-CXRs [11,12]. In the study of Saafari et al., PA-CXR interpretations of emergency medicine specialists and radiologists were found to be similar at a rate of 98.5% [13].
An audit of the polytrauma fracture detection rate of clinicians evaluating lodox statscan bodygrams in two South African public sector trauma units
2019, InjuryCitation Excerpt :As such, it contributes to our understanding of the clinical role of a relatively new imaging modality. The 89% (174/195) fracture-detection rate by trauma doctors in this study is at the higher end of international norms for non-radiologist reporting of conventional trauma radiographs in the clinical environment [10,19,17,18], albeit below the best results achieved in such a setting. However, it is substantially higher than the 68% fracture-detection rate documented in a previous study of trauma-radiograph interpretation by doctors blinded to clinical details [16].

2006, Journal of Emergency MedicineCitation Excerpt :Every year, acute knee injuries account for about 1.3 million Emergency Department (ED) visits in the United States (1). Acute knee trauma results in a fracture in only about 6% of cases, leading to many unnecessary radiographs (2,3). The overuse of radiographs prolongs ED waiting times, drives up health care costs, and exposes patients to unnecessary radiation (4).
