Abstract

This study compared interpretation of irregular and/or linear opacities (IR) among experts and beginners who learned the International Classification of High-Resolution Computed Tomography for Occupational and Environmental Respiratory Diseases. The accuracy of interpretation of results among beginners was consistent compared to that of experts after training. It is important to further improve and develop training methods and materials for inexperienced physicians.
