Recenzii
From the reviews:
“The authors describe in detail many of the types of errors in radiology that can occur in various clinical studies. … It is written for practicing radiologists, but it also will be of benefit to residents and fellows in radiology. … This is an important topic, and this book provides an excellent discussion of the various types of errors and presents useful information for error reduction. It should be a valuable reference in the library of every radiology department.” (Bennett S. Greenspan, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Diagnostic errors are important in all branches of medicine because they are an indication of poor patient care. As the number of malpractice cases continues to grow, radiologists will become increasingly involved in litigation. Accordingly, every radiologist should understand the various sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.
The principal focus of this book is on the diagnostic errors that may be perpetrated when using diverse radiologic techniques in different disease settings. The full spectrum of potential errors is analyzed with the aid of high-quality illustrations and with clear guidance on their avoidance. In addition, medicolegal aspects inherent to radiology are carefully examined, with particular attention to radiation exposure due to imaging procedures and malpractice issues relating to administration of contrast media. The importance of good communication between radiologists and physicians and between radiologists and patients is also emphasized. Errors in Radiology will prove immensely valuable to both novice and more experienced radiologists.

Caracteristici
The main reason for studying medical errors is to try to prevent them A radiology safety culture will only exist when the radiologist who made the error views such feedback positively as a learning experience Identification and reduction of diagnostic error provides a measure of the efficacy of the healthcare system, as it reduces mortality, morbidity and additional healthcare costs
