Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

WHEN A FACILITY REPRINTED A CT EXAM DEMONSTRATING RIGHT SINUS OCCLUSION ONE MONTH AFTER THE EXAM, A PHYSICIAN NOTICED THE SIDE OF THE OCCLUSION WAS MARKED (INCORRECTLY) AS THE LEFT SIDE. THE FACILITY REPRINTED THE STUDY A SECOND TIME AND THE ORIGINAL CORRECT ORIENTATION APPEARED. THE FACILITY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM ON FURTHER REPRINTING.
