After the 2013 incident in which 3,500 CT scans and mammograms read by Ontario radiologist Ivo Szelic had to undergo review for possible errors, quality assurance processes changed for all Ontario radiologists, explained David A. Koff, MD, FRCPC, professor and chair, department of radiology, McMaster University, and chief, Diagnostic Imaging, Hamilton Health System, at ECR 2015.
