This article unwraps the nature and source of human errors involved in Radiology, revealing unique elements of the specialty that warrant special consideration in medical malpractice cases. The authors compare these errors to negligent practices in other professions and conclude that a general concept of negligence cannot adequately address the complexities of decision-making in Radiology. After analyzing legal precedent, they develop an innovative jury instruction that recognizes particular situations of error in Radiology that occur in the absence of negligence.
本文剖析了放射学中人为错误的性质和根源，揭示了该专业的独特因素，这些因素在医疗事故案件中值得特别考虑。作者将这些错误与其他职业中的疏忽行为进行比较，并得出结论，一般的疏忽概念无法充分应对放射学决策的复杂性。在分析法律先例后，他们制定了一项创新的陪审团指示，该指示认识到放射学中在不存在疏忽的情况下出现的特定错误情况。
