Abstract:
La implementación de una estrategia de verificación de -congruencia radiodiagnóstica podría ayudar a disminuir el número de estudios radiológicos solicitados y mejorar su congruencia. En el estudio que comentamos se muestra que la congruencia radiodiagnóstica pasó de un 73.4% a un 81.9% al utilizar la estrategia. En esta carta se solicitan detalles de la estrategia y datos para calcular intervalos de confianza del 95%. Esta información nos ayudará a apreciar mejor el -estudio.
Abstract:
The implementation of a strategy to verify the radiodiagnostic consistency may help decrease the number of radiological studies requested and improve their consistency. The study that triggered this commentary shows that the radiodiagnostic consistency increased from 73.4% to 81.9% when using a strategy. This letter is intended to request the authors of the study, the details of the strategy and data to calculate 95% confidence intervals. This data will help us to further appreciate the value of the study.

X-ray Imaging
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
