an ever expanding industry of regulation, legislation and litigation. It is important for radiologists to recognise the implications of this development not only as an ongoing consideration in daily practice, but also in an attempt to protect themselves from unforeseen legal consequences. The personal impact of medicolegal litigation on practicing radiologists cannot be under estimated, and though this is at its infancy in certain countries, in many others it has gained significant momentum. The presenters in this Session will address and advise an approach to medicolegal avoidance in three clinical scenarios: when the radiologist has made a mistake, specific challenges within paediatric practice and emergency radiology. Session Objectives: 1. To learn appropriate responses following a clinical radiological mistake (miss, inadvertant outcome). 2. To learn potential medico-legal dangers and responsibilities specific to paediatric radiology practice. 3. To learn appropriate responses to medico-legal issues specific to emergency radiology practice.
