Diagnostic radiology does not have objective benchmarks for acceptable levels of missed diagnoses. Until now, data collection of radiological discrepancies has been very time consuming. The culture within the specialty did not encourage it. However, public concern about patient safety is increasing. There have been recent innovations in compiling radiological interpretive discrepancy rates which may facilitate radiological standard setting. However standard setting alone will not optimise radiologists' performance or patient safety. We must use these new techniques in radiological discrepancy detection to stimulate greater knowledge sharing, targeted instruction and teamworking among radiologists. Not all radiological discrepancies are errors. Radiological discrepancy programmes must not be abused as an instrument for discrediting individual radiologists. Discrepancy rates must not be distorted as a weapon in turf battles. Radiological errors may be due to many causes and are often multifactorial. A systems approach to radiological error is required. Meaningful analysis of radiological discrepancies and errors is challenging. Valid standard setting will take time. Meanwhile, we need to develop top-up training, mentoring and rehabilitation programmes.

In Mach 2020, WHO christened the highly infectious disease caused by novel Coronavirus (2019 – nCoV or SARS-CoV-2) that emerged in the city of Wuhan in Hubei province, China, as COVID-19 and declared it as a pandemic. In the following weeks, the disease has swept rapidly across most of the countries of the world. With the global health emergency that we are currently facing, Teleradiology adoption increased tremendously amongst the radiologists, who are playing the cruciate role in combating this deadly disease by imaging and predicting early diagnosis. As the pandemic has brought new challenges that necessitate radiologist to adopt routine off-site reporting, this allows the continuity of imaging services to the patients without sacrificing the quality of care. It also helps to maintain their workloads from a remote location and diminish radiologist exposure to infections. In this article, the authors review examples of current scope and applications of teleradiology practice during pandemic emerge. In addition, the future impact and natural extension of these techniques in radiology practice are discussed.

Clinical governance in action: radiology

Abstract: Articles and conferences on clinical governance abound, but much of the content is theoretical. This article describes how clinical governance may be introduced in a busy radiology department in a straightforward and practical way, with benefits to both the radiologist and patient.
