Abstract in brief

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a key process for identifying underlying factors that contribute to adverse safety events in healthcare, enabling radiologists and organizations to develop strategies to prevent recurrence.
It should be conducted in a culture of safety, focusing on systemic issues rather than individual blame, and consider the emotional impact on staff, with an emphasis on confidentiality.
The Joint Commission mandates that a credible RCA be completed within 45 days for all major adverse events, and there are various useful RCA tools available, such as the five whys, Ishikawa diagrams, causal tree mapping, affinity diagrams, and Pareto charts, to help analyze root causes effectively.]
