title: Errors in imaging of emergencies in pregnancy.
abstract: There is evidence that emergencies in pregnancy are subject to mismanagement; however, the percentage of error in the diagnosis of emergencies in pregnancies has not been studied in-depth. The purpose of this article is to review the most common emergencies in pregnancies, focusing the attention on errors in images. The topics covered are divided into gynecological and nongynecological, and for each pathology, the possible errors in the diagnostic pathway, the possible technical errors in the execution of the examination, and in the end, the possible errors in interpretation of the images have been dealt with. These last two entities are often connected, in the fact that a substandard examination can stem interpretation errors, but the systemization of the error is a valid approach in helping to learn from these errors, reducing the possibility that the same error can represent itself.
