Key Educational Themes
The conversations revolved around several core topics essential for radiology training. Click on a tab below to explore the detailed feedback and guidance provided in each area. This section highlights the curriculum-in-practice driven by Dr. Sharad's mentorship.
Focus on Common Errors
A significant portion of the feedback was dedicated to identifying and correcting common diagnostic errors. Understanding these pitfalls is crucial for improving accuracy and patient safety. The main error categories highlighted are detailed below.
Overcalling Findings
Incorrectly identifying pathology where none exists. A key example is reporting bladder wall thickening in an undistended bladder, which can be a normal finding. The guidance emphasizes the need for technical rigor, such as ensuring proper bladder distention before making a call.
Missing Subtle Findings
Failing to detect small but clinically significant abnormalities. Frequent examples included overlooked small renal calculi, subtle appendicitis, or small bladder lesions. This feedback underscores the importance of a systematic search pattern and using tools like thin MIP for stone detection.
Dictation & Terminology Issues
Using imprecise or non-standard language. Corrections included avoiding "prominent bowel loops" in favor of "dilated" with specific measurements, or confusing "hypo" vs. "hyper" dense. This reinforces the need for structured, unambiguous reporting.
