Diagnostic Errors in Radiology

Radiologists are trained medical professionals who specialize in interpreting medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasounds to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Despite their expertise, radiologists can occasionally make errors when reading imaging studies due to a variety of reasons. It’s important for healthcare providers and radiologists to understand how these errors occur and what steps they can take to mitigate the risk of error.
