This review will discuss the use of spiral CT for acute PE, including scan acquisition parameters, radiation dose, diagnostic findings, interpretive pitfalls and the role of leg vein studies.
It is likely the greater utilization of these next generation assays will contribute to diagnostic and interpretive challenges for clinicians confronted with positive results in rAAA and other critically ill patients [ 13].
They are not aiming to be an interpretive or diagnostic tool, though: the goal is to give the patient as much information as possible so that they can engage with the data, ask better questions, and actively manage their own health.
This study was designed to assess relative image quality, interpretive confidence, and diagnostic accuracy by use of contemporary technology and protocols.
Clinicians' interpretive reliability and diagnostic agreement are often evaluated using test sets.
In this paper we provide an example of how GRRAS recommendations can be applied to developing and reporting the methods used to create diagnostic test sets to assess interpretive reliability and diagnostic agreement.
Studies have demonstrated that PET MPI with Rb performs superior to SPECT in sensitivity, image quality, interpretive certainty, and diagnostic accuracy [ 38, 39].
(v) Information allowing clinicians to gauge clinical risk associated with integrating the EEG interpretive assessment aid into their diagnostic pathway.
Using standardised scanning and interpretive criteria this study showed a diagnostic accuracy for US of 80% compared to mammography of 78% and a combined accuracy of 91% (p = 0.003).
