Radiologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries through the use of medical imaging such as x-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound.Thanks to the technology used by radiologists, many diseases can be diagnosed early and treated promptly. Radiology is used for both diagnosis and intervention.

Unfortunately, when the technology is used or interpreted incorrectly, or results are miscommunicated (or not communicated at all), patients can suffer severe injury, including severe pain, loss of function, prolonged recovery times, and failure to diagnose a disease, which can lead to avoidable suffering and death.

Patients reasonably rely on radiologists to perform the right tests, using the right equipment, in the right way, with appropriate follow-up testing based on initial results. When a doctor breaches this duty, and a patient is injured by the doctor's failure, the doctor has committed medical malpractice.
