Charlotte Radiology Errors Attorney

Radiologists use CT scans, MRIs, X-rays, ultrasounds, and sonograms to diagnose illnesses. Unless the interpretation of these results is communicated effectively to the treating physician, appropriate treatment will not be given. Incorrect interpretation of the results also leads to misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, and death.

The Negligence Of Radiologists

An appropriate rule of thumb might be: When in doubt, pursue further or more specific tests. Rather than dismissing an unusual or abnormal sign on a test result as a harmless matter, the abnormality should definitely be identified. Radiologists should never “drop the ball.”

Common Mistakes

Conditions that may be overlooked and continue to threaten patients include:

• Breast cancer
• Brain tumor
• Broken bones
• Internal injury and bleeding
• Stroke
• Heart problems
• Vertebrae fracture
• Brain bleed
• Congestive heart failure
• Lung cancer

In the case of mammography, for example, routine screenings are done. If there is any sign of cancer, an in-depth diagnostic exam should be performed. Cancer will metastasize (grow and spread) if not treated.
