How Search Patterns Work
Each search pattern is a numbered, structured checklist of what to review in a specific study — in order, every time. The goal is to prevent satisfaction of search and ensure that important findings outside the area of clinical concern are never missed.
Here's an example of how the CT Chest search pattern is structured:
Why Systematic Reading Matters
Perceptual errors account for the majority of radiology misses. Structured search patterns counteract two main cognitive pitfalls: satisfaction of search (stopping after the first finding) and inattentional blindness (failing to see findings outside the area of clinical concern).
RadCall's search patterns are built around the clinical scenarios that actually matter on call — each one structured to ensure coverage of the areas most likely to harbor critical findings that can be missed under time pressure.
Free users have access to 6 core search patterns (CXR PA, CT Chest, CT Abdomen/Pelvis, CT Head, and MRI Brain). RadCall Pro unlocks all 40+ patterns across X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy.
