X-Ray Techs Have a Responsibility to Do Their Job Properly
Doctors, surgeons and other medical professionals frequently rely upon X-rays to make diagnostic decisions about the treatment they will provide. In order to make those decisions correctly, they must be able to read and interpret X-rays correctly and must be confident that radiologists did not make any errors when taking medical scans. Unfortunately, radiology errors account for many injuries in hospitals across Philadelphia each year.

Common Radiology Errors
When you are given an X-ray, CT scan or another type of medical scan, radiologists and other medical professionals are expected to follow a minimum standard of professional care. Results should be analyzed by specialists. If common warning signs are missed, or if they were correctly noted but were not communicated to other specialists, your doctor could misdiagnose or mistreat your injury or illness.
Common radiology errors include:
- Misread X-rays
- Delayed X-ray diagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Misread CAT scans and MRI test results
- Poor communication between medical professionals
Additionally, radiologists may use too much radiation when taking X-rays, which can be very harmful for patients. Our attorneys will review your care and provide honest answers about whether you have a claim.
