Perceptual and interpretive error in diagnostic radiology—causes and potential solutions.

Degnan AJ, Ghobadi EH, Hardy P, et al. Acad Radiol. 2019;26:833-845.

Human limitations can affect the safety of practice. This article discusses how fatigue, information quality, distractions, and the physical environment influence radiologic interpretation. The authors highlight the role of artificial intelligence as a potential solution to reduce errors in interpreting diagnostic imaging.
