Abstract:
Depositions are critical components of any medical malpractice lawsuit and seek to help uncover the facts of the case to allow justice to be served. Depositions often create considerable anxiety for physician-defendants, including radiologists. Defendants unfamiliar with the rules of questioning or interviewing techniques used by plaintiffs' attorneys may fail to appreciate important and nuanced details of questions from the plaintiff's attorney, which in turn could impact the outcome of the case. Thorough and informed deposition preparation is thus essential. Highlighting issues relevant to radiologist-defendants, we discuss the role and structure of medical malpractice depositions as well as common scenarios, lines of questioning, and attorney strategies.

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
Torts III
Quasi-intentional torts in healthcare involve acts where intent is not directed to harm an individual but results in harm due to careless or reckless speech.
Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
