Radiology
A Clinical Radiologist expert witness is qualified and experienced in the use of images to diagnose, treat and manage medical conditions and diseases.
Imaging is at the heart of modern medicine and is an essential part of many treatments. The Clinical Radiologist plays a vital role in swift and accurate diagnosis of many conditions by examining the anatomy, pathology, clinical history and previous imaging for the patient. Selecting the appropriate techniques for diagnosis and minimising radiation exposure is part of the role.
A Radiology expert witness can determine whether the appropriate tests were administered, interpretation of radiological results was correct, or whether diagnosis was made without “missing” anything present in the results.
Interventional radiology, where clinicians use guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in almost every organ system is also within the remit of a Radiology expert witness. X-ray, ultrasound, MRI and CT are used to guide and direct a wide variety of interventional treatments throughout the body. These minimally invasive techniques reduce infection rates and have shorter recovery times, but are not without risk and side effects, and an expert witness in radiology can give an opinion regarding these procedures
