Fig. 10From: Errors, discrepancies and underlying bias in radiology with case examples: a pictorial reviewPrior examination (type 7) and satisfaction of report (type 12) errors. Follow-up images of a male patient with a history of larynx cancer showed that both lung apices were within the imaging field in all the control neck CTs. More prominently in the right apex, bilateral apical fibrotic changes were present and consistently reported (a). Due to reliance on previous reports, apical areas were not evaluated carefully. Consequently, a nodular lesion showing a gradual increase in size, located within right apical fibrotic changes, was repeatedly missed until it reached large dimensions (red arrows, b). Percutaneous biopsy and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of primary lung adenocarcinomaBack to article page
