Radiology Errors

Radiology errors occur when mistakes are made in interpreting medical images, such as X-rays or MRIs. These errors can involve misdiagnosis, failure to detect a condition, or incorrect reporting of findings. In the context of medical malpractice law, a radiology error may lead to severe consequences for a patient, such as delayed treatment or worsening health. If a radiologist fails to provide accurate assessments, they might be held legally accountable if the patient suffers harm as a result. Such cases typically require proof that the error fell below the accepted standard of care in the field.
