Popis: | A rheumatologist and 2 radiologists read 3 groups of 50 pairs of roentgenograms of patients' hands, one roentgenogram with and one without a comparator set of bones.The categories were: Group I—normal subjects; Group II—surgical patients; and Group III—rheumatoid arthritis patients. They were matched for age and sex.All readers had the same degree of observer error; comparator bones did not aid in the diagnosis of osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis; knowledge of the diagnosis influenced all observers' readings. |
