Abstract
Diagnostic imaging is a cornerstone of modern medical diagnosis and treatment, yet missed diagnoses remain a significant issue within radiology, often resulting in delayed treatment and adverse patient outcomes. This article examines the pivotal role of radiology technicians in mitigating missed diagnoses and enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Through a detailed analysis of practices at Eskag Sanjeevani Hospital in Kolkata, India, the article highlights how the radiology team's comprehensive approach to imaging encompassing rigorous adherence to protocols, pattern recognition, and thorough communication contributes to superior diagnostic precision. The discussion includes case studies illustrating the team’s proactive identification of incidental findings, such as abnormalities in paranasal sinuses during a brain CT and posterior abnormalities detected during an abdominal CT, which led to additional diagnostic procedures and timely intervention. These practices demonstrate the significant impact of efficient radiology staff on reducing diagnostic errors, improving patient outcomes, and optimizing healthcare delivery.
