Summary

PURPOSE: To determine the variability of lesion size measurements in computed tomography data sets of patients imaged under a “no change” (“coffee break”) condition and to determine the impact of two reading paradigms on measurement variability.

METHOD AND MATERIALS: Using data sets from 32 RIDER Lung CT patients and 8 RIDER Pilot patients scanned twice within 15 minutes (“no change”), measurements were performed by five radiologists in two phases: (1) independent reading of each computed tomography dataset (timepoint): (2) a locked, sequential reading of datasets. Readers performed measurements using several sizing methods, including one-dimensional (1D) longest in-slice dimension and 3D semi-automated segmented volume. Change in size was estimated by comparing measurements performed on both timepoints for the same lesion, for each reader and each measurement method. For each reading paradigm, results were pooled across lesions, across readers, and across both readers and lesions, for each measurement method.

For additional information please see https://qibawiki.rsna.org/index.php/VolCT_-_Group_1B and the Release Notes from which the following may be specially useful: “Results are described in DICOM SR files, which in turn reference DICOM segmentation files that encode the region as a 3D raster, and presentation states that record the zoom, pan and window levels at the time of measurement” and “Readers are identified by number (from 1 through 5) … and their actual identity recorded in the SR tree in observer context and worklist descriptions has been removed.”
