Perception and Cognition in Medical Imaging,rts of the image. Our visual behavior is intertwined with our cognitive labor of data analysis and data synthesis, and is supported by our experience and fund of knowledge. Our attention is easily drawn to any obvious patterns and any obvious isolated findings. At the same time we can direct our gaz

EPT

Definition of Errors in Imaging,rent difficulty in interpreting medical images, especially if we cannot obtain confirmation of the diagnosis. So we need a working definition of errors in imaging. An error is a missed diagnosis, an inaccurate or incomplete diagnosis, the omission to specify follow-up imaging or additional studies,

Misinterpretation of a finding leads to underdiagnosis or overdiagnosis. Blind spots are anatomic areas that do not usually flag our attention, becoming thus a convergence point for biases,

Thus we may lean heavily towards one finding or one diagnosis, even if we are misdirected and wrong. The result is that we disregard, downpl

The two most important biases in imaging are “satisfaction of search” and “premature closing.” Both of them are discussed in great detail in this chapter. Additional important biases are presented as well.
