Letter to the editor re: Voice recognition dictation: radiologist as transcriptionist and Improvement of report workflow and productivity using speech recognition--a follow-up study.

摘要

We were surprised to see without comment in the December issue of JDI two hypothesis-driven research articles with opposite conclusions about the impact of speech recognition on radiologists. Pezzullo et al.1 strongly favored the use of traditional transcription over speech recognition, whereas Koivikko et al.2 determined speech recognition to be superior. With increasing imaging volume each year, identifying the costs and the benefits of either transcription-based or speech recognition workflow is an important contribution. As an interested reader, how can we draw useful conclusions from these two papers and adapt our practices?
