“…These have usually been undertaken to determine whether it may be appropriate for such individuals to provisionally report radiological studies and therefore help to meet the increasing demand for on-call radiology. For instance, several studies have evaluated the discrepancy rates between radiologists and emergency doctors in reporting trauma radiographs, demonstrating misreporting rates in the region of 1-3% [5][6][7]. In the context of cranial CT, previous studies have assessed the clinically significant non-concordance rates between the reports of radiology trainees and neuroradiologists, showing these to be between 1.7% and 5.7% [8][9][10].…”

Objectives: Demand for out-of-hours cranial CT imaging is increasing and some departments have considered addressing this shortfall by allowing non-radiologists to provisionally report imaging studies. The aim of this work was to assess whether it is appropriate for non-radiologists to report head CTs by comparing the misreporting rates of those who regularly report head CTs with two groups of non-radiologists who do not usually report them: neuroradiographers and emergency doctors. Methods: 62 candidates were asked to report 30 head CTs, two-thirds of which were abnormal, and the results were compared by non-parametric statistical analysis. Results: There was no evidence of a difference in the score between neuroradiographers, neuroradiologists and general consultant radiologists. Neuroradiographers scored significantly higher than senior radiology trainees, and the emergency doctors scored least well. Conclusion:The results of this preliminary study show that appropriately trained neuroradiographers are competent at reporting the range of abnormalities assessed with this test and that their misreporting rates are similar to those who already independently report these studies.

“…Like other fields, such as nuclear engineering or aviation [4,5], a radiology department stands out for its organizational and operative peculiarities as a "system", with features similar to any company such as logistics, finance and the hiring and training of personnel. The system as such can be analyzed and assessed for the purposes of searching for errors and correcting them with the appropriate procedures.…”

“…For instance, one of the most common causes of error in polytrauma patients is failure to detect fractures, which may account for 41%-80% of diagnostic errors in the Emergency Department [53][54][55][56]. Missed fractures are most commonly located in the peri-articular regions, shoulder girdle, and feet.…”

The advent of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) has drastically improved the outcomes of patients with multiple traumatic injuries. However, there are still diagnostic challenges to be considered. A missed or the delay of a diagnosis in trauma patients can sometimes be related to perception or other non-visual cues, while other errors are due to poor technique or poor image quality. In order to avoid any serious complications, it is important for the practicing radiologist to be cognizant of some of the most common types of errors. The objective of this article is to review the various types of errors in the evaluation of patients with multiple trauma injuries or polytrauma with MDCT.
