Opis

In Avoiding Errors in Radiology: Case-Based Analysis of Causes and Preventive
Strategies, the authors provide 118 real-life examples of interpretation errors
and wrong decisions from both diagnostic and interventional radiology. In
each case, the authors discuss in detail the context in which the errors were
made, the resulting complications, and strategies for future prevention. The
cases are organized by body region, beginning with the cranium and then
moving to cases of the breast, chest and abdomen, spinal column, musculoskeletal
and vascular systems.
Features:

• 118 case studies facilitate analysis and discussion of
  causes of errors and offer preventive strategies to transfer into daily practice
  
• 956 high-quality images and explanatory drawings
  illustrate the cases and pinpoint errors of interpretation and in decision
  making

Avoiding Errors in Radiology is a must-have reference for anyone involved in
interpreting images for diagnosis and in making decisions in interventional
radiology.
