Misread X–rays, Ultrasounds and MRIs

Medical Malpractice Claims Based on Misread X-rays, MRIs, and Ultrasounds


X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, and other diagnostic tests are essential to the ability of doctors to determine the nature and extent of their patient’s injuries. These tests and other procedures allow doctors to look into the body and see such things as tumors, fractures, and other internal abnormalities. In order for these procedures to help doctors save people’s lives, the healthcare providers must read and interpret them properly. When doctors fail to properly read and interpret these invaluable aids and their patient is injured, the doctor may be held liable for medical malpractice.

In all too many cases of medical malpractice, patients suffer injury and death due to doctors’ mistakes from misread x–rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds. When a condition goes undiagnosed and untreated, the patient is likely to suffer further complications or even death. Some of the most common errors in radiology testing include:

  • Misread X-rays
  • Misread MRIs
  • Misread CT or CAT scans
  • Misread Mammograms
  • Misread Ultrasounds

When a healthcare provider is careless in the reading and interpretation of diagnostic tests and their patient is injured or killed, the healthcare provider can be held liable for medical malpractice.
