How accurate is cancer scan reporting?
Hosp Med.
2000 Sep.
Abstract
The wide recognition of advances in medical imaging need to be matched by an awareness of the significant error rates in radiological interpretation of cancer scans. Common errors, their aetiology and potential solutions are discussed. Internet awareness of these errors has appeared.
