Abstract: rates, and one-way ANOVAs to test for differences based on training level.We used Pearson correlations to investigate the relationship between physician image ordering rate and DOSPERT scores.Results: The mean number of patients seen per physician was 550.8 (SD 213.9, range 145-961).Mean imaging ordering rate (CT and MRI) was 0.41 orders per patient (SD 0.11).Two physicians had been in practice less than five years, 4 physicians 5-10 years, 7 physicians 10-15 years, 4 physicians 15-20 years and 8 physicians had practiced more than 20 years.There were no statistically significant differences in DOSPERT scores or CT and MRI ordering rates based on physician sex (ps >0.100) or years in practice (ps >0.100).There was no correlation between CT+MRI ordering rates and total DOSPERT scores (r¼-0.145,p¼0.489) or between ordering rates and any of the DOSPERT subscales (Ethics, Financial, Health and Safety, Recreational or Social, all ps >0.100).Conclusion: Using the DOSPERT survey as a measure of risk tolerance, there were no statistical correlations noted between risk tolerance and advanced image ordering rates.It is possible that the DOSPERT subscales measure types of risk that are independent from medical decisionmaking.Future studies could use an alternative measure, aim to enroll a larger physician population including smaller community settings, or evaluate differences between specialties.
