Application Effect of Reading List in Teaching of Temporal CT Reading

Abstract

Background Temporal CT is the most commonly used imaging data in the clinical work of otology. How to cultivate and improve the ability of residents to read images has become an important focus in clinical teaching. Our aim is to explore the application effect of reading list in the reading teaching of temporal CT for resident otologists. Methods The resident otologists were selected as subjects and randomly divided into a Group A and a Group B. Group A adopted reading list of temporal CT while Group B did not adopted reading list. The ability of student to read temporal CT was tested and evaluated. Results The scores and identification proficiency of temporal CT in Group A were significantly better than those in Group B after training. The evaluation in the learning interest, prediction ability of surgical risk, prevention of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis risk, doctor-patient communication ability, standard organization of reading, self-confidence in reading, self-learning of reading, and satisfaction degree with reading teaching methods in Group A were better than those in Group B. Conclusion Application of reading list can improve the ability of resident otologists to read temporal CT and predict surgical risk, and help students cultivate the standard reading habits and enhance their interest in learning.
