Predicting the Acceptance of Elastography Machine Technology

Öz

Elastography machine technology allows users to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control than is possible with conventional techniques. Using the technology acceptance methodology (TAM), the current research proposed an integrated research framework to discover the antecedents of actual use of elastography machine technology. A sample of 145 users, who are randomly selected among the users in Turkey. Using SmartPLS was employed to confirm validity of the instruments and test the hypothesized relationships. The discussion of the results and suggestions for future work were discussed.

Elastografi Makine Teknolojisinin Kabul Görmesinin Öngörülmesi

Öz

Elastografi makine teknolojili yardım, teknisyenlerin geleneksel tekniklerle mümkün olandan daha fazla hassasiyet, esneklik ve kontrol ile birçok karmaşık prosedürü gerçekleştirmesini sağlar. Mevcut çalışma, teknoloji kabul modelini (TAM) kullanarak, elastografi makine teknolojisinin fiili kullanımının öncüllerini keşfetmek için entegre bir araştırma çerçevesi önerdi. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'deki tekniker ve kullancılar arasından rastgele seçilen 145 kullancının görüşü alındı. Araçların geçerliliğini doğrulamak ve varsayımsal ilişkileri test etmek için SmartPLS kullanan yapısal eşitlik modelleme yaklaşımı kullanıldı. Bulguların çıkarımları ve ileri araştırmalar için öneriler tartışıldı.
