What it is
Curated index of documented failure modes: site and batch confounding, scanner and stain variability, distribution shift after deployment, miscalibrated confidence, hallucinated findings in generative models, and automation bias in the reader.
Caveats
Maintained by this project rather than drawn from a single source; each failure mode links to its own primary literature.
