Radiology is one of the greatest benefits to modern medicine. It allows us to see inside the body without having to physically go inside. However, there are times when a radiology error occurs and it could mean the difference between life and death. Radiology errors can affect how other medical providers treat your condition. Attorney Stewart provides some examples of what can happen when a radiologist misses something on an x-ray, CT-scan, MRI, or PET scan.
