RISK FACTORS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PERCEPTUAL ERRORS IN RADIOLOGY
https://doi.org/10.35266/2949-3447-2024-4-2
Abstract
A retrospective analysis of 213 radiology examinations and protocols is carried out to determine the risk factors of perceptual errors in radiologists. The categories of these factors include the type of radiology examination, scanning area, place of the initial examination, experience of the radiologist, and the nature of the missed pathology. The absence of objective factors contributing to perceptual errors is noted in 16.9% of cases, while in 83.1% of observations a number of risk factors for their occurrence are identified: search satisfaction (47.4%), localization (42.6%), lack of structural analysis (21.1%) and data shortage (17.3%). A combination of these risk factors occurs in the majority of cases (56.8%). Recording and constant analysis of risk factors of perceptual errors in the practical activity of radiologists can reduce their incidence, as well as become the basis and key component of quality improvement in radiology diagnostics for taking appropriate, including systemic corrective measures and lead to improvement of the overall quality of medical care.
