What is the Duty of a Radiologist?
A radiologist is a specific type of doctor who is trained to read and interpret the results of ultrasounds, x-rays, MRIs, and other imaging tests. When necessary, the radiologist must work with other members of the healthcare team for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. If a patient suffers damages with the reading of an imaging study and the radiologist has breached their reasonable duty of care to their patient, a Kingston radiology error attorney could work to hold the radiologist liable for the patient’s damages.
