Image interpretation: Learning analytics-informed education opportunities.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Using a sample of pediatric chest radiographs (pCXR) taken to rule out pneumonia, we obtained diagnostic interpretations from physicians and used learning analytics to determine the radiographic variables and participant review processes that predicted for an incorrect diagnostic interpretation.

Methods

This was a prospective cross-sectional study. A convenience sample of frontline physicians with a range of experience levels interpreted 200 pCXR presented using a customized online radiograph presentation platform. Participants were asked to determine absence or presence (with respective location) of pneumonia. The pCXR were categorized for specific image-based variables potentially associated with interpretation difficulty. We also generated heat maps displaying
