In June 2016, our hospital initiated image interpretation assistance. As part of the procedure, image interpretation discussions were conducted by a radiologist for 30 minutes each week for 2 years to improve the ability of interpreting images. I decided to include comments on image interpretation observations in the Radiology Information System (RIS). The overall concordance rate of observations with a radiologist was approximately 88% based on the results of the accuracy verification of images and interpretation observation comments six months since starting image interpretation assistance. In addition, no statistically significant difference was observed between the concordance rate and the years of experience of the radiological technologists. In the questionnaire provided to doctors, evaluation for image interpretation assistance by the radiological technologists was high.
