Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Variation in opinions of medical experts is a problem for both the legal and medical profession. This is particularly relevant in breast imaging. Breast-Screen Queensland and New South Wales have developed a review protocol to assess 'reasonableness' of radiological opinions. It is hoped that the protocol will be acceptable to the courts and will result in a fair outcome for all parties involved in a medico-legal dispute. |
