The plaintiff sued an imaging clinic and a radiologist for medical negligence, alleging a failure to diagnose breast cancer from mammograms and ultrasounds conducted in 2008 and 2009.
The court found no evidence that the clinic's imaging fell below the standard of care, noting that the plaintiff's dense breast tissue made imaging difficult but diagnostic.
The court also dismissed the claim against the radiologist, finding that his interpretation of the imaging was a reasonable exercise of clinical judgment and that he could not be judged retrospectively with the benefit of hindsight.
The action was dismissed.
