  • Interobserver variability in 99mTc-DMSA renal scintigraphy reports: multicentric study
    Jakšić, Emilija ...
    Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the interobserver variabilityand reproducibility of the renal scintigraphy reports. Methods: Thestudy was prospective performed in 60 99mTc DMSA ... scintigraphies (116 kidneys), done in one centre, displayed on X ray films as analogue 300 kcountsimages in 4 standard projections. Six observers from 4 different centres (group A), including three observers from one institution (group B), were asked to interpret original scans. Seven parameters of scintigraphy protocol were analysed with at least two responsesČ kidney size (1), uptake (2), outlines (3), scars (4), SOL (5), differential function (6) and conclusion (7). Results: Among 116 kidneys, concordant results in interpretation of seven points of report from 1 to 7, in the group A were found in 62%, 42,5%.0, 45%, 9%.0, 47%, 52% and 34%, and in the aroup B in 72%,55%, 59%, 22%, 62%, 60% and 41% respectively. Some improvement in concordant reporting was noted in the group of 3 observers, in comparison of group of all, statistically significant in category of scar reports (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Results suoaest to use of standardised criteria and terminology in interpretations, to improve low interobserver reproducibility and objectivity of renal scintigraphy reports, particularly in evaluation of renal scars.
