Overview

Retrospective observational study compares image quality assessments in radiographers, indicating consistent skills across skill levels.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate inter-group agreement in chest X-ray quality assessments between final-year students and experienced radiographers.
  • Retrospective analysis of 70 de-identified chest X-rays from a tertiary teaching hospital.
  • Assessment of image quality across three domains: positioning, sharpness, and visibility.
  • Consensus reached between two experienced radiologists to classify image quality.
  • No significant differences in quality assessments between final-year students and experienced radiographers (p > 0.05).
  • Bland-Altman analysis indicated minimal mean variability, with students rating slightly lower.
  • Good-to-excellent reproducibility observed with ICC = 0.90 (95% CI 0.85-0.94).
