Abstract :
In healthcare systems, medication errors remain the most common around the world, and include prescribing errors, dispensing errors, and administration errors. Among these, patients are mostly affected by diagnosis errors that are most commonly found in radiology. The Institute of Medicine asserts that an error is referred to as a failure of any intended action to achieve as expected at first instance, or the execution of an inappropriate plan to achieve a goal. Medical imaging mistakes were detected as back as 1959, but 50 years down the line, the occurrence of these errors has remained the same and is yet to be resolved. At present, ultrasonography is becoming a very useful diagnostic modality for an increasing number of clinical diseases, including abdominal mass detection and evaluation of traumatic abdominal diseases (Pinto et al. 2016). However, emergency ultrasonography has been made particularly liable to errors, misinterpretation of sonographic images creating a big risk in clinical diagnosis.
