摘要
On the morning of Sunday November 29, 2009, hundreds of radiologist-attendees at the Radiological Society of North America's Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting took their seats in a simulated courtroom at McCormick Place, Chicago, Ill, to witness a mock trial of a radiologist who had been accused of medical malpractice for failing to communicate to a referring physician a possibly important abnormal radiologic finding. This report is a summary of the lawsuit. (C) RSNA, 2010
