How Radiologists Contribute to Misdiagnoses

One of the biggest errors a radiologist can make is contributing to a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of a disease. X-rays, MRIs, CT-Scans, and other imaging tests are key to providing a patient with a timely diagnosis so that they can begin treatment. If a radiologist misinterprets a test, a patient’s illness or injury could progress without proper treatment, putting them at risk of suffering further trauma or dying due to a delayed diagnosis.

Types of medical negligence that radiologists can commit include:

• Failing to perform a test properly
• Performing the wrong test
• Performing the test on the wrong body part
• Mislabeling test results
• Misreading test results
• Sending the wrong tests to a doctor

Determining Radiology Malpractice

Radiologists are held to the same standard of care as other medical professionals and should never allow a patient to sustain an injury due to an act of negligence. Failing to perform a test correctly is not simply a miscommunication between staff, but a failure to follow orders and obey protocol. There is no room for error when treating patients, and hospital staff should be held accountable when their negligence contributes to a patient’s injuries.

In order to pursue a medical malpractice claim for a radiology error, a patient must show that they would not have suffered the injury if a radiologist in a similar position had made the correct diagnosis. If the patient’s radiologist contributed to a misdiagnosis, then they may be able to recover compensation for the injuries they have suffered. This can include the medical costs of a delayed treatment, lost wages or earning potential, and pain and suffering damages. Individuals who lost family members due to radiology malpractice may also recover compensation in a wrongful death claim.
