Radiology and the Law: Malpractice and Other Issues by Ronald Eisenberg

Practically every radiologist would benefit from an all-encompassing guide to malpractice issues in radiology.

This softcover book will detail the mechanics of a lawsuit, how radiologists can become the object of a malpractice action, and what they can do to minimize potential exposure.
