This is another case that I was involved in.
0:03
So this is a CTA on
0:04
A patient with history of dizziness and headaches.
0:07
Uh, so CTAs, and this is the scout film of the CTA.
0:11
The CTA was normal
0:12
and was read as normal,
0:14
so there was nothing wrong with that.
0:16
Uh, but on the scout Image you can see that there is
0:21
Elevation of the hemi diaphragm
0:23
or there is a, uh, opacity in the left,
0:27
uh, lung, which
0:29
Obviously was not called.
0:31
So I had, I showed this, this scout image
0:35
and, and gave the exact
0:36
Same history to
0:39
About eight or nine of our neuroradiologist
0:42
Here in our department. And
0:44
None Of them said that they would be
0:46
commenting on this,
0:48
Barring a one person who said that he
0:51
Might have. So,
0:53
So really very hard.
0:54
So this is truly, truly a blind spot
0:58
when we are reading our radiological,
1:01
Uh, scans.
1:03
Uh, looking at the scout images.
1:05
Some people do, but most people do not
1:08
Look at the scout images. And this was very
1:11
Unfortunate For this patient.
1:13
Uh, and uh, this is a scan
1:16
S seven years after.
1:18
Now you can see that there is big, huge density in
1:21
that left hemithorax.
1:23
Uh, there's a shift of the mediastinum,
1:25
and then finally the CT was obtained.
1:27
You could see this big, huge, uh, lipos sar,
1:31
uh, in this patient. But
1:33
So how are, how do we want
1:36
to correct these mistakes, uh, from being made?
