Does your case hold water?
Trust is built with consistency
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
Attorneys trust physicians to get it right, but not all do. Besides missing pathology, sometimes a radiologist will find the abnormality, but mis-characterize it. Some radiologists fail to take in the clinical context of what they are observing.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Personal Injury
Trust is the operative concept. Do you trust that your client’s images were read by a radiologist who is actually aware of both the medical AND legal ramifications of the language used in the report? In many cases, it is a roll of the dice…. Most attorneys prefer to control all aspects of their client’s case, but when a client comes with imaging in hand, a big part of the picture has been put in place. Can you trust it? Our job is to help you to know if the original read was accurate and if the language reflects the pathology. If so, you will have confidence moving forward. If not, we will re-read the case using definitive terminology, helping guide the case forward towards a better outcome for you and your clients.
Workers Compensation
Our experts have decades of experience interpreting MRI and other imaging studies on the injured worker. We are well versed in the approval process, requests for allowance of additional conditions, and for substantial aggravation of pre-existing conditions. We are here to help clarify the imaging findings and when appropriate, connect the imaging finding to the work-related injury. When requested, we rely on our team of subspecialty clinicians to comment on issues of disability.
medical Malpractice
Our philosophy is to care for the patient. We are dedicated to reviewing each case with an objective eye towards upholding the standard of care. In addition to reviewing the radiologist’s role, Definitive Radiology’s medical second opinions are given in the larger context of how the handling of a patient’s imaging impacts the final patient outcome. To achieve this, our team of medical experts integrates their own clinical experience into the second opinion narrative.
