Radiology practice's communication failure bears tragic consequences

After looking into the case, officials discovered that a coding error prevented the radiology report, which contained critical findings, from ever being sent to the referring provider.

Example of the four types of breast tissue density. The density of fibroglandular tissue inside the breast impacts the ability to easily see cancers. Cancers are very easy to spot in fatty breasts, but are almost impossible to find in extremely dense breasts. These examples show craniocaudal mammogram findings characterized as almost entirely fatty (far left), scattered areas of fibroglandular density (second from left), heterogeneously dense (second from right), and extremely dense (far right).
