Medical Malpractice: Misread Medical Imaging Tests
Technological advances in medicine have made it possible for machines to see inside the body with noninvasive imaging tests. X-rays, CT scans, nuclear medicine scans, MRI scans and ultrasounds can do everything from see broken bones to tumors. Despite all the advances in science and technology, human error still exists. And, when this results in the misinterpretation of a medical imaging test, patients can suffer and die unnecessarily. The law offices of Harry T. Widmann, PLC in Metairie, Louisiana successfully handles medical malpractice claims involving misinterpreted imaging tests.

If the patient is wrongly given a clear bill of health and the doctor fails to treat the illness, the results can be deadly. Or, if a patient who is actually healthy is told he or she must have surgery to remove a tumor, the unnecessary surgery can result in many problems.
