Doctors without radiology training: how do they read CT scans?
NCT ID NCT06507124
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how doctors who are not radiologists interpret CT scans. With CT scans becoming more common, many non-radiologists are expected to read them but often lack formal training. Researchers recorded 25 doctors from different specialties and experience levels as they reviewed a CT scan, then analyzed their approaches. The goal is to eventually create a simple system to help non-radiologists spot important findings.
