ospitals provide a variety of diagnostic and interventional radiologic services that can sometimes result in errors causing injury or even death. These services may include X-rays, CT Scans, MRI Scans, Mammograms, PET Scans, Sonograms, SPECT Imaging, and Ultrasounds.
The most common diagnostic and interventional radiologic safety rule violations include:
- Delay in reporting emergency medical condition reflected on images
- Missing important evidence of anatomic abnormalities on images
- Misinterpreting significant evidence of disease in CT’s, MRI’s, or x-ray images
- Negligently administering radiolucent contrast dyes
- Mammogram misreads

- Paracentesis and thoracentesis
