Right heart strain assessment on CTPA following acute pulmonary embolism: Interobserver variability between expert radiologists and physicians

Are advanced clinical practitioners perfectly placed to re-report neuroimages to support the clinical diagnosis of dementia?

“…However, both reviews were based on low to very low-quality evidence which limits confidence in their findings. Some primary studies have shown high concordance between radiologists and non-radiologists such as the reporting of abnormalities assessed with head CTs ( Gallagher et al 2011 ), interpretation of whole-body CT scans in trauma patients ( Parag & Hardcastle 2020 ) and the interpretation of CT pulmonary angiograms for heart strain ( Samaranayake et al 2022 ). The evidence base for CT brain scan interpretation by non-radiologists is therefore not conclusive but recent single studies indicate potential.…”
