Abstract
There are few data regarding the frequency and type of diagnostic errors made by radiology residents and fellows (“trainees”). However, increasing interest in reducing medical errors highlights the need to analyze which areas of medical knowledge are most problematic for physicians-in-training, including radiology trainees. Once these areas are identified, they can be emphasized during training.Keywords
