Approaches to the classification of errors in radiology: a review

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In many cases physicians make a diagnosis using the results of radiology. At the same time, the interpretation of medical images can be very variable in some cases, contain inaccuracies, which can lead to incorrect patient treatment tactics. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this article is to show different classification of diagnostic errors in radiology.MATERIAL AND METHODS: A search for scientific publications was carried out in the information and analytical systems PubMed, elibrary, Google Scholar using the keywords: radiology errors, x-ray errors, diagnostic errors in radiology, errors in radiation diagnostics, errors in radiology.RESULTS: An analysis of scientific publications showed different approaches to the classification of errors in radiology. The main historical aspects of the formation of the first such classifications, their improvement over time, the lack of a single agreed upon classification and the critical difficulties of their use are presented.CONCLUTIONS: This literature review presents various approaches to the classification of errors in radiation diagnostics, which can be useful for understanding the causes of their occurrence, as well as for the development of systems for their identification, analysis and prevention, which will subsequently lead to minimizing the frequency of their development and reducing the degree of damage caused.
