Abstract
In this study, the impact of the availability and accuracy of the patient’s clinical, laboratory and anamnestic data on the conclusion of a radiologist was evaluated. To achieve this goal, three groups of protocols of 60 digital chest radiographs performed by five radiologists with different work experience were compared. At the first stage, a set of radiographs was provided without additional information, at the second stage — with reliable brief clinical, laboratory and anamnestic data and at the third stage - with unreliable data. As a result, it was shown that the availability of reliable and accurate clinical information is important for the interpretation of chest radiographs.
