Reliability of on-call radiology residents' interpretation of 64-slice CT pulmonary angiography for the detection of pulmonary embolism.
CONCLUSION: The rate of discrepancy fell steeply between the second and fifth year of the residents training from 18.5% to 6.9%. Our study suggests that it is reasonable to have on-call radiology residents perform the preliminary interpretations of 64-slice CT for PE studies.
