Matthew Hawkins, MD, a pediatric radiology fellow at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Hawkins is speaking on the topic at the SIIM 2012 conference in Orlando this week.

In this podcast, Hawkins discusses how these errors can change the meaning of radiology reports and how augmenting standardized content associated with various types of speech recognition software can decrease mistakes.
