Abstract


MDM Toolkit is an app for commonly used calculations in clinical radiology multi-disciplinary meetings (MDMs). These calculations enable the radiologist to analyse variables on patient imaging to provide management outcomes for clinicians. This app is intended to make the task easier and simpler.

As part of the development process this tool was mathematically validated with 50 comparable clinical scenarios and had a 100% concordance with clinician outcome. Face validity testing is ongoing, however initial result among trainees at our institution are favourable.

It means the radiologist:
- Doesn’t need to browse internet/ interrogate textbooks
- need not move away from diagnostic PACS screen
- can avoid human error in commonly used formulas
- can use tool for education purposes (eg; trainees)

Calculations include:
- RECIST 1.1
- Adrenal Washout; Relative and Absolute
- RMI (2) Ovarian Tumour Scoring
- Fleischner Lung Nodules
