Cross-sectional survey assessed the diagnostic algorithm's clinical utility and patient care in imaging requests.
Key Points
The diagnostic algorithm has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and expedite decision-making for imaging requests.
Survey results from 111 participants, including various healthcare professionals, indicated overall positive perceptions of the algorithm's clarity and usability.
Challenges like evaluating contrast safety and limited access to necessary imaging modalities were noted, but the algorithm was still well-received.
The findings highlight the need for better dissemination of clinical guidelines to reduce inappropriate radiological study requests and optimize patient care.
