Design and evaluation of learning strategies for a group of radiographers in radiostereometric analysis (RSA)

Highlights: • In vitro organized training program improved radiographers' RSA imaging skills. • After training all radiographers improved their results in the written test. • After training radiographers improved their skills in all three measured parameters. • RSA imaging skills improvement contributed to radiation dose savings. • The pauses between the tests did not affect the radiographers' performance. - Abstract: IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to design and evaluate a radiostereometric analysis (RSA) program aimed at radiographers in order to increase their cognitive and practical skills, thereby increasing image quality and minimizing exposure repetition.
