What types of mistakes occur in radiology labs?
When doctors want to know more about what is happening inside a patient, they will often order radiology tests. When the tests are properly done and accurately reported, the information can be invaluable, even life-saving. Radiology errors, however, can cause serious injury and wrongful death. Radiology errors include:
- Delayed x-ray diagnosis that delays needed treatment
- Errors in reading MRIS, CT scans, sonograms, mammograms and other x-rays essential for proper diagnosis
- Use of medications that are contraindicated by the patient's chart — dyes, sedatives and blood thinners
- Failing to x-ray the right body part
- Failing to properly use and monitor MRIs, CT scans, x-ray machines
- Failing to communicate results of imaging studies in a timely fashion
- Incomplete imaging studies
