Dear AuntMinnie Member,
In which U.S. state are radiologists at greatest risk of experiencing a malpractice claim? The answer might surprise you, according to a new article we're featuring this week in our Imaging Leaders Digital Community.
The article covers a study that investigated many of the factors that lead to malpractice claims, ranging from the gender of radiologists to their state of residence.
The authors also examined the accuracy of a widely held belief: If radiologists don't order additional diagnostic tests for equivocal studies, they're exposing themselves to additional litigation risk.
