@22and25 posted:Or, just as likely, the ortho group has a cheap low gradient open MRI in their office so they can do their own scans and make money. The scanner sucks and you get crappy images that miss pathology.
If you get a chance, look into perceptual vs cognitive errors when it relates to radiology. There has been a ton of studies on this topic, and it's really interesting how the human mind works while trying to decode raw information. "Crappy scanner" is usually a scape goat as the abnormality is often seen in retrospect, especially after being pointed out by another Radiologist. This ties back to a perceptual error. @Smitty28 Those that keep making cognitive errors tend to loose their licensure pretty quickly
