Radiologists use medical imaging technology in order to come up with clear images of the insides of the human body in an effort to accurately a condition that may not be apparent even after a physician manually examines a patient. While radiologist play a vital role in the diagnosis of various cancers, aneurysms, the growth of a newborn or fetus, a fracture and so on, they can be negligent in their interpretation of these images, leading to the development of cancer, a brain bleed that puts a patient in a coma, and even a child being born with a severe defect.

Here are some of the most common radiological mistakes that may lead to malpractice:

  1. Misinterpretation of a CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, X-Ray, sonogram and more, leading to the patient suffering negative health effects such as the spread of cancer that may have been easily excised, the ballooning and bursting of a weak artery, the unborn baby going through a difficult delivery due to macrosomia, and so on.
  2. Communication errors where they do not notify lab or the patient of any anomalies found in the scanned images, which leads to a false sense of security, or a period of calm before the storm, leading to irreversible health complications.
  3. Medication errors, where the patient is prescribed incorrect medication, prescribed the wrong dosage, or not prescribed medication at all. In fact, this is such a common occurrence in radiology that it is estimated that radiologists make medication errors up to seven times more than other physicians.
