@ReluctantO'sFan posted: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
Yes, I am aware. I am also aware that an outdated .5 Tesla open scanner shoehorned into an office produces substandard imaging. It does however provide the same reimbursement as the 1.5T or 3T magnet at the imaging center down the street but the ortho practice keeps the money😉
Don’t get me started on the ortho doc doing a wet read to make treatment decisions.....
