Radiology residents demonstrated proficiency in chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation, with diagnostic skills improving with residency year and formal training. However, the volume of CXRs read weekly did not impact performance.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Medical Education
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Chest X-ray (CXR) interpretation is a fundamental skill for radiology residents.
  • Evaluating resident proficiency and identifying factors influencing skill acquisition is crucial for effective training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the average skill level of radiology residents in reading chest X-rays.
  • To explore cognitive mechanisms and influencing factors in CXR interpretation skills.

Main Methods:

  • Eighty-one residents evaluated using a test set of CXRs (detection, interpretation, normal).
  • Residents answered questions on findings, need for CT, and diagnosis.
  • Performance analyzed against expert consensus, considering residency year, training course attendance, and weekly CXR volume.

Main Results:

  • Mean success rates were 90.4% (findings), 76.6% (CT need), and 52.7% (diagnosis).
  • Residency year correlated with better detection skills (P=0.025).
  • CXR training course attendance correlated with better interpretation skills (P=0.031).

Conclusions:

  • Resident performance in CXR interpretation is influenced by training and experience level.
  • Systematic theoretical training courses should be promoted in radiology residency curricula.
