Comparison of a PACS workstation with laser hard copies for detecting scaphoid fractures in the emergency department.
Picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) for imaging studies is rapidly being adopted in hospitals throughout the UK. However, very little comparison has been made between PACS and laser hard copies for assessing the diagnostic accuracy of detecting fractures by emergency physicians. A pro...

However, very little comparison has been made between PACS and laser hard copies for assessing the diagnostic accuracy of detecting fractures by emergency physicians. A prospective paired comparison study was undertaken looking at correct reporting of scaphoid X-rays on PACS and conventional film by emergency department medical staff. A total of 34 imaging studies were reported by 38 physicians using both PACS workstations and laser-printed films. The percentage of emergency physicians correctly reporting imaging studies was similar when comparing PACS images to laser film copies (80.7% versus 81.0%). The sensitivity and specificity of PACS for diagnosing scaphoid fractures was 79.5% and 81.6%, versus 78.1% and 83.8% for conventional films. There is no significant difference in accuracy of diagnosis between PACS and laser film copies when scaphoid X-rays are reported by emergency physicians. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
