Objective:
The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of standardized video clips compared with still images in the diagnostic accuracy of remote sonographic interpretation.
Methods:
We compared the remote interpretation of sonographic examinations acquired with a standardized video clip approach to examinations performed with still images alone in 60 patients with various hepatic and extrahepatic pathologies.
Results:
The use of video clips improved the diagnostic accuracy of sonographic studies interpreted remotely compared with the use of still images (p < 0.0001). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values increased from 47.3% to 68.3%, 81.8% to 87.8%, 71.5% to 81%, and 63.8% to 74.5%, respectively.
Conclusions:
Standardized video clips are easy to obtain, less operator-dependent than still images, and can be transferred to remote sites without loss of important data. We recommend this method in remote interpretation (teleradiology and distant consultation) of sonographic examinations.
