Between the Image and the Error: Medical Dilemmas in Modern Ophthalmology
Between the Image and the Error: Medical Dilemmas in Modern Ophthalmology examines the factors that compromise diagnostic safety in a specialty that has become increasingly dependent on advanced ocular imaging technologies. The book demonstrates that diagnostic errors rarely result from a single event; rather, they arise from the interaction of process failures, productivity pressures, fragmented information, rushed interpretations, and the absence of structured validation protocols throughout the patient's clinical journey.
Covering every stage of patient care—from reception and diagnostic image acquisition to multimodal interpretation and surgical planning—the book reveals how seemingly minor operational failures can lead to significant clinical, financial, ethical, and reputational consequences. It explores topics such as OCT artifacts, multimodal data integration, toxic workflows, anterior and posterior segment diagnostic safety, attention management, cross-validation of imaging findings, and the prevention of the cascade effect that can carry a diagnostic error all the way to the operating room.
Written for ophthalmologists, ophthalmic technologists, residents, clinical application specialists, healthcare managers, and other eye care professionals, this book proposes a fundamental shift in mindset: replacing a culture driven by volume with one centered on quality, integration, and patient safety
