Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

232
Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

4.5K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology
  • Ultrasound Technology

Background:

  • Standardized assessment tools are crucial for evaluating procedural skills in medical trainees.
  • Direct evaluation of cranial ultrasound (US) performance is necessary for ensuring radiologist proficiency.
  • Existing literature provided the basis for developing an initial cranial US assessment tool.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and validate a novel assessment tool for evaluating cranial ultrasound (US) procedural skills.
  • To ensure the proficiency of radiologists in performing cranial US examinations.
  • To establish a reliable method for direct assessment of cranial US performance.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Delphi process involving an expert panel of pediatric radiologists was used to refine the assessment criteria.
  • The initial 14-item form was iteratively modified over three rounds, incorporating expert consensus and rubric scales.
  • The final 15-item tool, featuring a three-part rubric (preparation, machine operation, performance), was validated using video recordings of 27 residents' cranial US procedures by two raters.

Main Results:

  • The Delphi process resulted in a validated 15-item cranial US assessment tool.
  • Interrater reliability, assessed via Cohen's Kappa, ranged from moderate to almost perfect (0.42-0.93).
  • High internal consistency was demonstrated with Cronbach's alpha values of 0.856 and 0.891 for the two raters.

Conclusions:

  • This study successfully developed the first validated assessment tool for cranial ultrasound (US) performance using a modified Delphi method.
  • The finalized assessment form is a simple, reliable, and content-validated instrument for evaluating radiologist competence in cranial US.
  • The tool provides a standardized approach to ensure and assess trainee proficiency in cranial ultrasound.
