Radiologist asserts study interpreted correctly, but jury finds him negligent
On Aug. 7, 2009, plaintiff had a bilateral screening mammogram. In his formal report, defendant, a diagnostic radiologist, noted that the mammogram study had been unchanged from her July 27, 2007, and July 31, 2008, studies.
Plaintiff argued that the study did show an abnormality in her right breast in the 10 o’clock position, and in May 2010, she found a lump. A right diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound revealed a malignant mass.
