Effect of size and position on chest lesion detection.

A test series of radiographs was developed by duplicating normal chest radiographs with superimposed masks containing either a 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 cm pseudolesion. Nine observers participated in the study. Receiver operating characteristic curves were formed and the responses from radiologists and physicists compared. The accuracy rate for detecting 1.0 and 1.5 cm lesions was 44%; for 0.5 cm lesions, 8%. Lesions located in the upper left quadrant were detected with an accuracy of 56% compared to 29% for those in the lower left quadrant.

The coming crisis in radiological manpower--shortage?

The 1966 NACOR Report spurred such a sharp growth in numbers of radiologists that today there is concern about an oversupply. Considering all the factors involved--panic reaction to an undocumented "surplus", sharp diminution of the residents in the training pool, and potantial massive increases in demand for radiological services--the authors believe it not unreasonable to anticipate a real shortage of radiologists in the near future. Any deliberate activity at the present time to reduce the output of radiologists in this country would seem premature and potentially disatrous.
