1 Reporting Radiographer Sonographer
A well established function with high rate of satisfaction

2 Questions Do patients have the same expectations In relation to
Quality of the examination Quality of diagnosis Information Further treatment

3 Patient 251 - 985 Retrospectiv Analysis.
FINDINGS Patient Retrospectiv Analysis.

4 Statistic 735 Reports. Nothing abnormal = 204 patients / 27,7%.
964 findings in 531 patients = ratio at 1,8 Help to examination = 130 examinations / 17,6%

5 Patological findings. Gall bladder with Stone 196 patients = 26,7%
Sludge + PLGB Polyp lesion in Gall bladder = 43 patients 239 patients / 32,5%

6 Patological findings. Focal lesions 28 patients. = 3,8%
Liver metastasis Pancreatic tumor Hypernephroma Cysts 85pt. = 11,6% Kidneys Liver

7 Patological findings. Liver steatose 83 Haemangiomas 15 Pancreatic 32
Spleen 47

8 Patological findings. Nephrolithiasis 32 Hydronephrosis 35 Aorta
ectasia / sclerosis 30 Ascites 35

9 Patological findings. Other: 173 patients = 23,5%
Calcifications, Angiomyolipomas Lipioma / fibroma, Stents Nephropathia, Cirrhosis, Dilatatio via bilarum Cholecystitis, Portal enlarged lymph nodes, Situs inversus, Nephrocalcinosis. A. renalis stenosis.

10 Patological findings. GB: 520, 589, 629, 635, 782,

11 Patological findings. Focal Lesions: Cysts: 520, 541, 792, 818,
Lever metastasis: 567, 645, 659, 872 Pancreatic tumor: 600, Hypernephroma: Cysts: 520, 541, 792, 818,

13 Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis of reports
Inconclusions criteria Patients with classical upper abdominal problems such as GB-stones or ulcer symptoms Selections bias are minimised by exclusion of patients with known oncological diseases or complicated procedures

14 Method A retrospective reading on reports of patients referred to fasting Ultrasound examination of the upper abdomen. This gives a clear picture of the prevalence in own material. Both regarding own examinations, but also with the possibility to compare with the radiologists within the speciality.

15 Data gathering Included: Excluded: 250 Patients with:
classical symptoms of gall bladder stones Non characteristic symptoms of upper abdomen Para clinical weight loss Abnormal hepatic blood counts Excluded: Patients in known oncological treatment Complicated examinations done by radiologists Selection bias are hereby tried to be minimised.

19 Production and economi
Data gathering from the past 10 weeks 36% of the examinations were carried out by Reporting Radiographer 11 patients per day – 56 % non planned included

20 Positive and negative impact
Shorter waiting time – all time is waiting time A none negliable better prognose in treatment of other patient with cancer diseases Less worries in 27,7% - case closed without findings! Cheaper salary More free ”space” for more complicated procedures for the radiologists 20

21 Positive and negative impact
None! (no complains in more than examinations!) but ”2” patient had asked for a ”doctor” 21

22 Future aspects Educationel matters
DSDU the Danish Society of Diagnostic Ultrasound ”Drivers license” Training programmes EFSUMB recommendations Developing new fields Well described borders 22

23 Conclusion Educationally conditions Well described frames an borders
High success ratio with an Positive impact on Patient satisfaction and treatment and Economy Therefore
