Thoracic Ultrasound Expert Witnesses

Thoracic ultrasound is a diagnostic imaging technique used to assess structures within the chest. It can assist in evaluating the pleura, chest wall, diaphragm and peripheral lung, as well as conditions such as pleural effusion, pneumothorax and lung consolidation. Cases involving ultrasound assessment of the chest can raise complex medico-legal questions. These may relate to indications for imaging, examination technique, image interpretation, diagnosis, reporting, ultrasound-guided procedures and subsequent clinical management. Our respiratory and radiology expert witnesses can provide independent, evidence-based medico-legal opinions and reports. Experts may review ultrasound images, imaging reports, medical records and procedural documentation. They can provide an opinion on matters within their specialist area of expertise.
