dc.description | From May to October 2008, a major review of chest radiographs (x-rays) and CT scans reported by an individual consultant locum radiologist was undertaken at Louth Meath Hospitals. The review was prompted by a missed diagnosis in a small number of patients who later died from lung cancer. The review re-assessed all of the chest x-rays and CT scans reported by the locum consultant radiologist while he worked at Drogheda and Navan Hospitals from August 2006 to August 2007. The review was carried out to establish whether any ongoing patient safety concerns were in existence, and to provide reassurance to these patients and to the hospital that their radiographs and scans had been read correctly. It involved reviewing 5,835 chest x-rays and 67 CT scans from a total of 4,936 patients. | en |
