TY - JOUR AU - Saraswathy Suresh Babu AU - Suresh B Babu AU - Karen Veronica Fernandes AU - Joe Francis PY - 2024 DA - 2024/07/19 TI - Decoding the Radiologist’s Mind: From Image Interpretation to Diagnostic Mastery JO - Japan Journal of Research VL - 5 IS - 5 AB - Radiologists perform the complex task of interpreting medical images, a skill developed through rigorous training yet often not fully understood in terms of cognitive and neural processes. This article explores the visual, cognitive, and neural mechanisms underlying radiological expertise. We examine the developmental path to expertise, differences in image analysis between experts and novices, and common errors in interpretation. By understanding these factors, we aim to enhance radiology training programs and reduce diagnostic errors, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
