目的:描述专门的身体肿瘤成像研究金计划的结构。总结研究员报告的横断面影像检查的数量和类型。
方法:课程,训练方法,对该计划中使用的评估措施进行了审查和描述。进行了教育回顾性分析。研究员解释的考试次数数据,模式的崩溃,并收集疾病管理团队(DMT)的检查。
结果:在研究期间,共有38名研究员完成了研究金计划。每个研究员报告的检查中位数为2296[四分位数间距:2148-2534],包括所有肿瘤相关的成像模式:CT721[646-786],MRI1158[1016-1309],超声256[209-320]和PET/CT176[130-202]。DMT检查的细分显示了成像模式的变化,MRI最常解释为泌尿生殖系统,肌肉骨骼,和肝胆肿瘤,和CTs最常用于一般分期或评估非特异性症状。
结论:这种描述性分析可能为类似研究计划的发展和身体肿瘤成像的发展奠定了基础。研究员报告的检查数量和多样性突出了身体肿瘤成像的综合性。
OBJECTIVE: To describe the structure of a dedicated body oncologic imaging fellowship program. To summarize the numbers and types of cross-sectional imaging examinations reported by fellows.
METHODS: The curriculum, training methods, and assessment measures utilized in the program were reviewed and described. An educational retrospective analysis was conducted. Data on the number of examinations interpreted by fellows, breakdown of modalities, and examinations by disease management team (DMT) were collected.
RESULTS: A total of 38 fellows completed the fellowship program during the study period. The median number of examinations reported per fellow was 2296 [interquartile range: 2148 - 2534], encompassing all oncology-relevant imaging modalities: CT 721 [646-786], MRI 1158 [1016-1309], ultrasound 256 [209-320] and PET/CT 176 [130-202]. The breakdown of examinations by DMT revealed variations in imaging patterns, with MRIs most frequently interpreted for genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and hepatobiliary cancers, and CTs most commonly for general staging or assessment of nonspecific symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: This descriptive analysis may serve as a foundation for the development of similar fellowship programs and the advancement of body oncologic imaging. The volume and diversity of examinations reported by fellows highlights the comprehensive nature of body oncologic imaging.
