Medical Malpractice Claims Involving Radiological Errors

Technology has drastically transformed the medical field, significantly improving the quality of care patients receive. Radiology is now a critical part of patient diagnosis and treatment, involving advanced imaging technology such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and echocardiograms. These tools provide clear and detailed images that help doctors identify medical conditions accurately.

Unfortunately, the effectiveness of these technologies depends on the expertise of the professionals who interpret the results. Like any medical field, human error and negligence in reading radiology images can severely disrupt a patient’s treatment and health outcomes. If you’ve been harmed by such errors, our Indiana medical malpractice attorneys at Langer & Langer are here to help you seek justice and compensation. 

 

Radiology Malpractice: The Beginning of a Nightmare

A significant number of medical malpractice claims have been traced back to an error in the first readings of image results, such as x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, and more. The interpretation of medical imagery determines the course of a patient’s treatment, and if that interpretation is inaccurate, it can not only keep the patient from getting the necessary treatment, but also place him or her at risk of undergoing unnecessary treatment.

There are two main parties whose interpretation of imagery has an impact on the patient’s treatment:

  •  The radiologist: has specific expertise in administering and reading medical imagery, and owes a duty of care to communicate abnormalities to physicians and patients.
  •  The referring physician: In many cases, the physician is given or shown the imagery he or she requested. They have the duty to timely and thoroughly inform the patient of the radiologists finds.

When it comes to properly interpreting imagery, communication failures and failure to notice abnormalities in images are common roots of medical malpractice. Patients can suffer unnecessarily, wrong treatments can be ordered and administered, and conditions can go untreated, even to the point of patient death.

Impact of Radiology Errors on Patients

Radiology mistakes can cause:

  1. Delayed or incorrect treatment
  2. Unnecessary medical procedures or surgeries
  3. Emotional distress and anxiety
  4. Increased medical bills and financial burdens
  5. Permanent disability or worsening of health
  6. Wrongful death

You deserve justice and compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering caused by negligence.
