Researchers studied breast imaging reports that were reviewed for errors from Jan. 2009-April 2010 during multidisciplinary tumor board meetings at two hospitals. At least one major error was found in 23 percent of automated speech recognition reports but in only 4 percent of conventional dictation transcription reports.
After adjusting for academic rank, native language and imaging modality, results showed that reports generated with automated speech recognition were eight times more likely than conventional dictation transcription reports to contain major errors.
