Can you spot the image with the faked aortic dissection?
Korean researchers tested the ability of radiologists to spot CT images altered with commercially available software to introduce pathology and found that their skill at doing so is no more certain than a coin flip.
Korean researchers tested the ability of radiologists to spot CT images altered with commercially available software to introduce pathology and found that their skill at doing so is no more certain than a coin flip. Researchers from the Catholic University of Korea designed a test to find out how well 17 attending radiologists and 13 residents could spot images with faked and real pathology in a set of 10 images. After being told that some of the images were digitally altered, the attending radiologists were able to spot the five fakes only 51.8% of the time. Residents spotted the fakes just 47.7% of the time. “The recognition of retouched images was like coin flipping,” said Catholic University’s Hee Jae Chang, who presented the study at the 2009 RSNA meeting.
