description •A new radiologic complication registration system was introduced in this study.•Implementation of this new system in clinical practice proved feasible.•Its yield in a tertiary care radiology department was described. To describe and evaluate our initial 5-year experience with a new complication registration system for errors in radiology. This study reviewed all cases that were submitted to a new complication registration system of a tertiary care radiology department between 2015–2019. Sixty-seven cases were included. In the group of diagnostic complications/errors (n = 34), there were 21 perceptual errors and 13 cognitive errors. This 61.8 % (21/34) perceptual error rate was not significantly different (P = 0.297) from the 70 % perceptual error rate known from previous literature. In the group of interventional complications (n=19), most cases (47.4 % [9/19]) concerned symptomatic or major hemorrhage. In the group of organizational complications/errors (n=14), the leading incident type according to the International Classification System for Patient Safety was clinical process/procedure with wrong body part/side/site as subclassification (35.7 % [5/14]). Harm severities were none (n=35), mild (n=10), moderate (n=10), severe (n=6), death (n=5), and unknown (n=1). Harm severity of interventional complications was significantly higher (P
