What can radiologists learn from skiers?
By Dr. Giles Maskell
Research on avalanche safety shows that training doesn't offer complete protection against making bad decisions, and well-trained, sensible people are led astray by their own cognitive biases. That rings true as much for radiology as for winter sports, Dr. Giles Maskell writes.

By Tami Freeman, PhD
