Understanding Radiology Malpractice in Montana
Radiology malpractice occurs when a radiologist, imaging technician, or medical facility fails to meet the standard of care, and that failure causes harm. Mistakes can happen during image interpretation, test performance, or communication of results. Common types of radiology errors include:
-
Misreading or misinterpreting X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds
-
Failing to detect tumors, fractures, or other serious conditions
-
Delayed reporting of critical findings
-
Performing imaging incorrectly or incompletely
Even a single mistake can have serious consequences. A missed tumor might delay life-saving treatment. A fracture that goes undiagnosed can lead to long-term disability. In these situations, having an attorney familiar with Montana medical systems can make a significant difference.
Common Signs of Radiology Errors
Recognizing a potential radiology error is often the first step toward recovery. Some warning signs include:
-
Receiving treatment that does not match your condition
-
Persistent symptoms despite medical imaging
-
Contradictory diagnoses from multiple healthcare providers

Complications arising from delayed or incorrect imaging results
If you notice any of these signs, it is important to review your medical records. Our Montana attorneys can analyze your imaging studies and consult with medical experts to determine whether malpractice occurred.
