Diagnostic errors in computerized tomography in the differential diagnosis of cerebrovascular lesions

Creators

Description

There are two alternatives to demonstrate diagnostic errors in computerized tomography: statistics and the evaluation of single cases. Statistics are necessary but they cannot disclose the reason and the consequences of misinterpretations for the individual case. Nine out of 4200 patients subjected to computerized tomography were selected to discuss some problems of diagnosis of cerebrovascular lesions by computerized tomography. This report is divided into three parts. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Es gibt zwei Wege, um diagnostische Fehler in Computertomographie nachzuweisen: Statistiken und die Auswertung von Einzelfaellen. Statistiken sind notwendig, doch sie koennen nicht den Grund und die Konsequenzen von falschen Interpretationen in den einzelnen Faellen ausschliessen. Neun von 4200 Patienten, die sich der Computertomographie unterzogen hatten, wurden ausgewaehlt, um einige Probleme der Diagnostik von zerebrovaskulaeren Schaeden mit Hilfe der CT zu diskutieren.
