Imaging Studies II: Positron Emission Tomography and Scintigraphy

327
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
  • Hospital Medicine

Background:

  • Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) adoption is increasing, yet optimal training designs for hospitalists remain unclear.
  • Effective longitudinal training is crucial for successful POCUS integration in hospital settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a novel POCUS training program for hospitalists.
  • To assess the impact of the training on knowledge, hands-on skills, and confidence.
  • To identify key components of the training that correlate with participant success.

Main Methods:

  • A two-day introductory course followed by a year of clinical practice, online feedback via clip uploads, hands-on teaching, and monthly conferences.
  • Hospitalists at four academic sites participated in the I-ScaN POCUS training program.
  • Assessments of knowledge and skills were conducted pre-course, post-course, and at 1-year follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Knowledge scores significantly increased post-course (58% to 85%) and were maintained at 1 year (81%).
  • Hands-on image acquisition skills remained stable, with median scores of 75% post-course and 74% at 1 year.
  • Confidence levels increased significantly post-course (1.5 to 3.1) and were sustained at 1 year (2.73).
  • Clip uploads (r=0.85) and attendance at hands-on sessions (r=0.7) strongly correlated with successful outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The I-ScaN POCUS training program effectively enhances hospitalist knowledge, skill, and confidence.
  • Skills and confidence were successfully maintained for at least one year post-training.
  • Regular clip uploads and participation in hands-on teaching sessions are critical factors for achieving success in POCUS training.
