Overview
- 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

About this book
Reviews
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)Editors and Affiliations
