Identifying and Categorizing Diagnostic Errors in Abdominal Imaging using a Diagnostic Imaging-Specific Annotation Process

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to identify and categorize contributory factors to diagnostic errors in abdominal imaging through a specialized annotation process. In a study of 185 patients, they found that 14.6% experienced diagnostic errors, primarily due to delays in performing ordered tests. The research demonstrated that an iterative training approach significantly improved inter-annotator agreement in identifying these errors compared to a gold standard established by radiology specialists.
