LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Describe some common and important missed and mistaken diagnoses in body oncologic imaging with updated information on common problematic body oncologic imaging findings.

ABSTRACT

Research consistently indicates that there are serious errors in 1.0 to 2.6% of radiology reports, and there is no reason to believe the error rate in body oncologic imaging is substantially different. Accordingly, the recognition of potential pitfalls that may lead to mistakes in diagnosis, especially those that lead to inappropriate management, is of major importance. This course will highlight some of the common and important sources of error, especially those that are not widely appreciated or are newly described.
