We aimed ta determine the agreement between emergency medicine assistants (EMAs) and radiology assistants (RA) and specialists (RS) in the evaluation of CTPAMaterials and Methods: 11 EMAs, one RA and one RS participated in the study. 100 CTPA images were re-reported. The participating RA evaluated 100 CTPAs and 11 EMAs evaluated 20 randomised CTPAs aut of 100. The Kappa statistic was used ta assess agreement, and the Douglas G.
