Image Diagnosis by a Radiologist
摘要
In recent years, critical information about “suspected cancer” from computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) reports in general city and core hospitals is not being communicated effectively, affecting treatment outcomes. This issue stems from several factors, including (1) the absence of specialized diagnostic imaging radiologists within the institution; (2) the lack of rigorous review and confirmation of radiologists’ reports by referring physicians; and (3) even when the attending physician reviews the image diagnostic reports, the implications are not incorporated into the patient’s medical treatment plan.
