■要确定技术重复的原因,确定移动和固定乳房X线照相术单元之间是否存在差异,并评估重复成像的改善率。
获得IRB批准,用于对2017年3月至2018年12月在医院乳腺成像中心和2017年4月至2018年12月在移动乳腺X线照相术单位进行的筛查乳腺X线照相术技术重复检查计划(EQUIP)日志的增强质量进行回顾性审查。使用频率表和Fisher精确检验进行统计分析。
■在483个案例中报告了技术缺陷,并由两到三名审计师进行了审查。审计人员在31个案例中没有发现技术缺陷,被排除在外的。其余452例被分配了技术召回类别:动议,定位/排除组织,皮肤褶皱,神器,欠压缩,或对比度(曝光不足/过度)。动议是最常见的技术召回类别(253/452,56.0%)。定位/排除组织是第二个最常见的原因(150/452,33.2%)。在移动和固定乳房X线摄影单元上进行的乳房X线摄影之间,技术缺陷的统计学差异(94/143,65.7%vs159/309,51.5%,分别,P=0.0058),皮肤褶皱(16/143,11.2%vs15/309,4.8%,分别,P=0.02),和定位/排除组织(30/143,21%vs120/309,38.8%,分别,P=0.00016)。大多数召回通过重复成像得到改善(审计师1:451/483,93%和审计师2:387/483,80%)。
■运动和定位/排除组织是筛查乳房X线照相术技术召回的最常见原因。技术召回的原因在移动和固定乳房X光检查单元上成像的患者之间有所不同,可能是因为每个地点的患者群体不同。
UNASSIGNED: To identify causes of technical repeats, determine whether differences exist between mobile and fixed mammography units, and evaluate the rate of improvement on repeat imaging.
UNASSIGNED: IRB approval was obtained for retrospective review of Enhancing Quality Using the Inspection Program (EQUIP) logs of screening mammography technical repeats performed from March 2017 to December 2018 at a hospital breast imaging center and from April 2017 to December 2018 on mobile mammography units. Frequency tables and Fisher\'s exact tests were used for statistical analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Technical deficiencies were reported in 483 cases and reviewed by two or three auditors. Auditors identified no technical deficiencies in 31 cases, which were excluded. The remaining 452 cases were assigned a technical recall category: motion, positioning/excluded tissue, skin folds, artifacts, undercompression, or contrast (under/overexposure). Motion was the most common technical recall category (253/452, 56.0%). Positioning/excluded tissue was the second most common reason (150/452, 33.2%). Statistically significant differences in technical deficiencies were identified between mammograms performed on mobile versus fixed mammography units for motion (94/143, 65.7% vs 159/309, 51.5%, respectively, P = 0.0058), skin folds (16/143, 11.2% vs 15/309, 4.8%, respectively, P = 0.02), and positioning/excluded tissue (30/143, 21% vs 120/309, 38.8%, respectively, P = 0.00016). Most recalls improved with repeat imaging (auditor 1: 451/483, 93% and auditor 2: 387/483, 80%).
UNASSIGNED: Motion and positioning/excluded tissue are the most common reasons for screening mammography technical recalls. The reasons for technical recall differ between patients imaged on mobile and fixed mammography units, likely because of differences in each location\'s patient population.
