Medical-legal implications of angiography

Since no member of the health-care team is immune to malpractice suits, technologists must be aware of their individual responsibilities and carry them out with utmost care. The increasing sophistication of equipment and radiologic techniques, such as are utilized in angiography, makes it even more imperative that technologists be alert to the legal implications and the standards of practice that all members of the team should follow to minimize the risks to the patient and to the team in terms of malpractice suits.
