​Pediatric chest radiographs: common and less common errors.

Menashe SJ, Iyer RS, Parisi MT, Otto RK, Stanescu AL. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2016 Aug 4; [Epub ahead of print].

This commentary reviews nine cases involving interpretation errors associated with chest radiographs of children to illustrate common mistakes that can occur in pediatric imaging. Each case concludes with a clinical teaching point for practice improvement.

Diagnostic errors in interpretation of pediatric musculoskeletal radiographs at common injury sites.

Bisset GS III, Crowe J. Pediatr Radiol. 2014;44:552-557.

This study found that diagnostic errors in interpretation of pediatric musculoskeletal radiographs were relatively rare, occurring in 2.7% of cases. The majority of errors involved false negative readings (i.e., missed injuries).

Improving team performance during the preprocedure time-out in pediatric interventional radiology.

Gottumukkala R, Street M, Fitzpatrick M, Tatineny P, Duncan JR. Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. 2012;38:387-394.

Audiovisual recordings, reviews, continual feedback, and modifications led to significant improvements in team performance of pre-procedure time outs.

Image Gently, Step Lightly: promoting radiation safety in pediatric interventional radiology.

Sidhu M, Goske MJ, Connolly B, et al. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2010;195:W299-W301.

This commentary describes a checklist initiative to standardize workflow, promote team responsibility, and improve the safety of pediatric radiology procedures.

Diagnostic errors in pediatric radiology.

Taylor GA, Voss SD, Melvin PR, Graham DA. Pediatr Radiol. 2011;41:327-334.

Analysis of 265 errors in radiologic diagnosis was used to develop a taxonomy for diagnostic error in pediatric radiology.

Journal Article > Study

Improving patient safety: effects of a safety program on performance and culture in a department of radiology.

Donnelly LF, Dickerson JM, Goodfriend MA, Muething SE. AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2009;193:165-171.

This study found that implementation of a comprehensive and multifaceted safety program improved reports of safety culture among pediatric radiologists.

Building Bridges Between Radiology and Emergency Medicine: Consensus Conference on Imaging Safety and Quality for Children in the Emergency Setting.

Pediatr Radiol. 2008;38(suppl 4):625-734.

This special issue explores the intersection of emergency medicine, radiology, and pediatrics in the context of care provision in the emergency department and covers elements such as team communication, culture, and patient safety.

Journal Article > Study

Enhancing pediatric safety: using simulation to assess radiology resident preparedness for anaphylaxis from intravenous contrast media.

Gaca AM, Frush DP, Hohenhaus SM, et al. Radiology. 2007;245:236-244.

This study developed a simulation model in the radiology environment and identified the need for greater resuscitation aids to treat unexpected clinical events. A past AHRQ WebM&M commentary discussed the role of simulation as a method to practice both behavioral and technical skills.
