The Effect of Different Monitor Use on Radiography Interpretation in Emergency Medicine

Abstract

Aim Although it is recommended to use a medical monitor in radiology guides, it is rare to use a medical monitor in non-radiology departments. In this study, the effect of using LED, tablet and medical monitor in the radiography evaluation of inexperienced physicians in the emergency room was investigated. Materials and Methods Fifty medical intern from the medical school were included in the study. Participants were asked to diagnose pre-prepared radiography sets on LEDs, tablets and medical monitors and to request a radiology consultation for radiographs they could not decide. The diagnoses of medical interns and cases of requesting radiology consultation were recorded. Results The median values of the correct diagnosis of the participants according to the monitors; 13.5 on led monitor, 13 on tablet monitor and 16 on medical monitor. The median value of the desired radiology consultation numbers; 6 on led monitor, 7 on tablet monitor and 4 on medical monitor. The medical monitor has statistically signficant difference to the other two monitors, in the correct diagnosis and number of consultations desired. Conclusion The use of medical monitors by inexperienced physicians in the emergency room where workload is extreme and time is valuable, will increase the diagnosis accuracy and decrease the rate of request for consultation.
