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. The aetiology of radiological error is multi-factorial. This book focuses on (1) some medico-legal aspects inherent to radiology (radiation exposure related to imaging procedures and malpractice issues related to contrast media administration are discussed in detail) and on (2) the spectrum of diagnostic errors in radiology. Communication issues between the radiologists and physicians and between the radiologists and patients are also presented. Every radiologist should understand the sources of error in diagnostic radiology as well as the elements of negligence that form the basis of malpractice litigation.
Industry 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)
