Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Acute appendicitis is a global surgical emergency. Radiographic modalities usually identify acute appendicitis, although radiographers\' competence is questionable. This study examines how clinical radiographers\' education and experience affect their ability to identify acute appendicitis using computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (USG) characteristics. The study also aimed to determine which variable strongly influences their knowledge level.
UNASSIGNED: The study surveyed radiographers with a four-part self-administered questionnaire containing demographic information and eight knowledge-based questions about the appearance of acute appendicitis in MRI, CT and USG, separately. Before distribution, the questionnaire was validated and checked the reliability.
UNASSIGNED: Clinical radiographers\' knowledge about using MRI to diagnose acute appendicitis was strongly affected by education and experience (η2 = 0.13 and 0.14; P < 0.05), with bachelor\'s degree holders scoring higher regardless of experience. Radiographers with more than 5 years of experience knew more about CT and USG features to identify acute appendicitis (η2 = 0.40 and 0.27; P < 0.05). Radiographers with a bachelor\'s degree and greater experience had higher overall knowledge of MRI, CT and USG to diagnose acute appendicitis (η2 = 0.51 and 0.11; P < 0.05). With adjusted R2 = 54% (F [2, 44] = 27.94; P < 0.001), education and experience highly predicted the overall knowledge level.
UNASSIGNED: The study found gaps in radiographers\' knowledge of the radiographic appearance of acute appendicitis. Clinical radiographers\' education level and years of experience substantially affect their knowledge level. In addition, experience is a good predictor than education level for overall knowledge level. Therefore, the study emphasises the importance of continuing education and training for radiographers to diagnose acute appendicitis quickly and accurately.

摘要：
■急性阑尾炎是全球性的外科急症。影像学检查通常可识别急性阑尾炎，虽然射线技师的能力值得怀疑。本研究探讨了临床放射技师的教育和经验如何影响他们使用计算机断层扫描（CT）识别急性阑尾炎的能力，磁共振成像（MRI）和超声检查（USG）的特点。该研究还旨在确定哪个变量强烈影响他们的知识水平。
■该研究对放射技师进行了调查，问卷由四部分组成，包含人口统计信息和八个关于MRI中急性阑尾炎外观的基于知识的问题，CT和USG,分开。在分发之前，对问卷进行验证和信度检验.
■临床放射技师使用MRI诊断急性阑尾炎的知识受教育和经验的影响很大（η2=0.13和0.14；P<0.05），无论经验如何，学士学位持有者的得分都更高。具有超过5年经验的放射技师更了解CT和USG特征以识别急性阑尾炎（η2=0.40和0.27；P<0.05）。具有学士学位和更丰富经验的放射技师对MRI的总体知识较高，CT和USG诊断急性阑尾炎（η2=0.51和0.11；P<0.05）。调整后的R2=54%（F[2，44]=27.94；P<0.001），教育和经验高度预测整体知识水平。
■这项研究发现放射技师对急性阑尾炎的影像学表现的认识存在差距。临床放射技师的教育水平和多年的经验大大影响他们的知识水平。此外,经验比教育水平对整体知识水平有很好的预测作用。因此,这项研究强调了继续教育和培训对放射技师快速准确诊断急性阑尾炎的重要性。
