Effect of picture archiving and communication system image manipulation on the agreement of chest radiograph interpretation in the neonatal intensive care unit

Conclusion: Agreement in CXR interpretation is poor; the ability to manipulate the images on PACS results in a decrease in agreement in the interpretation of these studies. New methods to standardize image appearance and allow improved comparison with previous studies should be sought to improve clinician agreement in interpretation consistency and advance patient care.
