Automated peer-review QA software beats paper
By Erik L. Ridley
Tuesday, December 1 | 3:30 p.m.-3:40 p.m. | SSJ12-04 | Room S402ABTo maintain their institutional credentials, U.S. imaging facilities must set up a peer-review quality assurance program for radiologists to grade each other's work. Using paper and pencil to manage this process can be a headache, and that's why a Rhode Island radiology practice has implemented an automated software application for managing peer-review overreads.

Factors affecting error rate in speech recognition dictation
By Cynthia E. Keen
Tuesday, December 1 | 10:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. | SSG10-01 | Room S402ABUse of speech recognition software has greatly expedited radiology report turnaround time and has transformed the way that reports are authored, but at what cost? The subject of errors made using this medium is seldom discussed, so this ambitious study of almost 18,000 radiology reports is refreshing in its size and candor.
