Incorrect interpretation of radiologic images can result in delayed diagnosis or unneeded additional tests and treatment. This commentary describes the visual illusions radiologists use in detecting and categorizing abnormalities, and recommends further research into the ways visual illusions are used in order to improve diagnostic safety.

Communication failures affect safe care delivery across the spectrum of practice. This review highlights steps in the imaging cycle that are vulnerable to communication errors, such as clinical history taking, report compilation, and results notification. The authors provide recommendations for radiologists to reduce the potential for errors that will impact the timeliness and accuracy of care delivery.

Radiology interpretation errors can contribute to diagnostic error. This commentary explores other areas of the imaging process that exhibit weaknesses such as incomplete ordering and delays. The authors highlight health information technology as a strategy for improving the system to support safe care.

Interpretive radiology errors can result in delays that contribute to patient harm. This commentary describes human factors that affect diagnostic accuracy and reviews strategies to address weaknesses at the individual and systems level.
