The topic of diagnostic imaging error and the tools and strategies for error mitigation are poorly investigated in veterinary medicine. The increasing popularity of diagnostic imaging and the high demand for teleradiology make mitigating diagnostic imaging errors paramount in high-quality services. The different sources of error have been thoroughly investigated in human medicine, and the use of AI-based products is advocated as one of the most promising strategies for error mitigation. At present, AI is still an emerging technology in veterinary medicine and, as such, is raising increasing interest among in board-certified radiologists and general practitioners alike. In this perspective article, the role of AI in mitigating different types of errors, as classified in the human literature, is presented and discussed. Furthermore, some of the weaknesses specific to the veterinary world, such as the absence of a regulatory agency for admitting medical devices to the market, are also discussed.
