A brief explainer why this website exists

Why does Radiology Law exist?

I am a practising radiologist with a master's degree in Healthcare Ethics and Law, a combination which has given me a deep interest in medical ethics and healthcare law, especially in relation to clinical radiology. In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to distinguish genuine case law from AI-generated slop. This is particularly frustrating as I quite like to follow recent and interesting medicolegal developments.

I find this an intellectually stimulating exercise and I frequently come across cases with direct relevance to my clinical practice and to my NHS department. This website was created to provide a human-reviewed and trustworthy resource for radiologists, lawyers and patients navigating medicolegal case law, with a clear focus on radiology. All material is checked against primary sources (a shocking proposal in this day and age I know...) and summarised and rewritten to act as a helpful resource without legal experience.

Website Structure

From Fundamentals to Recent Events

The site is structured so that everyone, from first-time visitors to experienced medicolegal practitioners, are on an equal foundation clinically and legally. The sections are divided to try to provide a concise and comprehensive overview of clinical radiology as a specialty, important legislation and regulations, foundational medicolegal principles, and important recent judgments.
