Background & Aims: Radiology reports are often the only means of communication between radiologists and physicians. Despite the importance of these reports, practically physicians do not give a feedback about radiology reports. This study was aimed to determine the opinions of specialists towards radiology reports. Methods: in this descriptive study, sample consisted of all specialists working ...

monte carlo method is a very accurate method to optimize medical diagnostic radiology spectra and simulation of radiation transportation. using mcnp code, radiology and mammography attenuated x-rayspectraweresimulated.the ipem report number 78 was used as a reference to compare with the geant4 and mcnp simulations because of its popularity and wide availability. the results of geant4 in 40kev s...

Crowdsourcing platforms are a popular choice for researchers to gather text annotations quickly at scale. We investigate whether crowdsourced annotations are useful when the labeling task requires medical domain knowledge. Comparing a sentence classification model trained with expert-annotated sentences to the same model trained on crowd-labeled sentences, we find the crowdsourced training data...

A lack of suitable dosimetric quantities for application in diagnostic radiology is noted by Dr Moores. It is concluded by Dr Moores that it is not possible to adhere to the basic principles of the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) regarding patient dosimetry in diagnostic radiology due to the extremely wide variety of quantities and units employed. The conclus...

Radiology reports, as a form of clinical narrative, are more than a repository of patient information but are active in patient care. They are not unique and individual to each patient but have structured content suitable for supporting the activities of care. We consider these activities of care and how they manifest in the report. This recognition of the infusion of clinical organisation in c...
