The χ2 test was used for statistical analysis.
*Significant statistical difference (p<0.050) in the rate of analysis and evaluation of examination report corrections between medical and local institutions.
†Significant statistical difference (p<0.050) in the rate of corrections made after comparing present with past images between medical and local institutions.
