Analysis of the causes for interpretation errors in breast diagnostic reports.
Breast diagnostic interpretation error hinders the radiologic detection and assessment of breast cancer. Diagnostic problems are mainly related to errors in detection, management & assessment. The most significant interpretive errors include BI-RADS (breast image reporting and data system) failure to correlate mammographic, ultrasound (US), & MRI findings with clinical findings. To improve radiologic interpretation, understanding the factors affecting the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer is necessary. It facilitates early cancer detection and treatment in time. Here is a hierarchical list of some of the most significant factors.
