“…In a national physician survey, seeking a second opinion and close follow‐up of patients to ensure that the diagnosis is correct were found to be the highest‐ranked clinician‐based solutions to diagnostic error . It is now an accepted mandatory practice in the U.K. that discovered errors are reported back to the originating radiologist . Dermatologists should be encouraged to engage colleagues in providing a second opinion more commonly.…”

Diagnostic errors are the most common, costly and dangerous of medical mistakes. In part 1 of this series, we described how general and dermatology-specific cognitive and perceptual biases underlie most of our correct diagnoses, as well as being a source of diagnostic medical errors. In this second part of the series, we describe some tactics to combat diagnostic error. Metacognition, or thinking about how we think, is the central approach advocated to avoid errors of 'uncritical' diagnostic thinking. Current individual and medical cultural attitudes need to be modified in order to incorporate improvements in diagnosis. Algorithms, artificial intelligence and system changes are being developed to address error and improve diagnostic accuracy.

Radiology is one of the fast advancing branches of medicine. With the rapid advancement in machine technology, physicians are relying on radiology examinations/report to confirm a diagnosis or even for establishing a diagnosis for a questionable problem. "The radiology report is the most critical component of the service provided by a radiologist. It constitutes the formal documentation and communication of the results of the examination, study or procedure performed 1 ".
