Abstract
A small fraction of RAIs can be avoided by performing a thorough evaluation of all prior imaging examinations, including different modalities and body parts. Nearly half of the key prior examinations did not report the finding, highlighting the importance of directly reviewing relevant images, particularly chest imaging for evaluation of indeterminate upper-abdominal findings. Configuration of PACS for optimized selection and display of relevant examination reports and images may facilitate such comparisons.
