Training activity information
Details
Use image analysis software to extract quantitative information from clinical studies
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Assumptions informing analysis software
- Methods to accurately extract quantitative data:
- Quantitation of in vivo activity concentration including calibration methods
- Extraction of semi-quantitative measures (e.g. SUV and myocardial perfusion scoring)
- Extraction of physiological parameters (e.g. kinetic analysis/compartmental modelling)
