Radiological evidence often sits at the heart of a case, whether to establish diagnosis, assess injury severity, or determine whether appropriate imaging procedures were followed. At Clarity, we provide expert witnesses in both diagnostic and interventional radiology, as well as advanced practice radiographers in reporting roles. Our network includes specialists across neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, oncology, paediatrics, obstetrics, and more, ensuring that the right imaging expert is matched to the precise legal questions being asked.
Below is a list of our Radiology Expert’s Specialisms:
Missed or Misinterpreted Imaging Findings
One of the most common reasons for instructing a radiology expert witness is to assess whether a radiologist or reporting radiographer failed to identify or accurately interpret a significant finding. This is particularly relevant in cases of delayed cancer diagnosis, missed fractures, or overlooked foreign bodies. Each Radiology Expert Witness can review the imaging, radiology reports, and referral history to provide an objective opinion on whether the standard of care was met and if not, whether this contributed to avoidable harm.
Interventional Radiology Complications
Radiologists performing image-guided procedures are sometimes at the centre of clinical negligence claims where complications arise. These might include issues with stent placement, embolisation, drain insertion or needle biopsy. Clarity’s Radiology Experts are able to assess whether complications were recognised and managed appropriately, whether consent was sufficiently informed, and whether intervention followed accepted standards of radiological practice.
Radiographic Injury or Consent Disputes
In cases where a patient suffers injury during an X-ray, CT or MRI procedure, or experiences an adverse reaction to contrast media, a Radiography Expert may be best placed to advise. These experts are often instructed to assess whether the procedure was performed in line with national safety standards, whether informed consent was properly obtained, and whether safeguarding, positioning or manual handling protocols were followed. Such matters frequently arise in both personal injury and Fitness to Practise hearings.
Imaging Evidence in Criminal Cases
Radiology experts are often called upon in criminal proceedings involving head injury, suspected non-accidental injury (NAI), or unexplained trauma. From interpreting CT scans of brain haemorrhages to assessing historic fractures in child protection cases, radiological input can provide crucial clarity around causation and timing. Our Radiology Expert Witnesses are experienced in working within the framework of the Criminal Procedure Rules and understand the importance of precise, unbiased reporting.
Birth Trauma and Obstetric Imaging
In cases involving perinatal injury, Clarity provides radiologists and sonographers experienced in interpreting obstetric imaging. These experts are well placed to assess whether prenatal or postnatal scans were accurately reported, whether abnormalities should have been identified, or whether ultrasound findings were communicated effectively to the treating team. Their insight is often key in establishing causation in obstetric negligence claims.
Neuroradiology, MSK and Oncology
We routinely provide expert witnesses in niche fields of radiology, including neuroradiology (e.g. for stroke, TBI or tumour interpretation), musculoskeletal radiology (e.g. in sports or workplace injuries), and oncology (e.g. for staging errors or misinterpretation of tumour progression). In each case, Clarity ensures that your expert has the exact clinical and reporting experience required to address the specific issues raised in your case.
Clinical Authority & Courtroom Clarity
At Clarity, we work exclusively with radiology experts who combine clinical excellence with a clear understanding of their duty to the court. Every expert report is prepared in accordance with Part 35 of the Civil Procedure Rules, Part 33 of the Criminal Procedure Rules, and the Guidance for the Instruction of Experts to Give Evidence in Civil Claims. Where relevant, our experts also work in line with the Health and Care Professions Council standards and radiological best practice.
We understand that medical imaging evidence can be highly technical and, if misinterpreted, can lead to serious consequences. That’s why our experts are not only senior clinicians but also skilled communicators who are able to deliver their findings in a way that is structured, objective, and accessible to legal professionals and judges. Whether commenting on imaging interpretation, radiographic technique, or the appropriateness of an interventional procedure, Clarity’s experts offer impartial opinions that are both clinically and legally robust.
Our radiology experts are routinely instructed in high-stakes litigation and professional conduct matters. Each one has extensive experience in giving written and oral evidence, with the confidence to support their opinion under cross-examination and in multidisciplinary settings. At Clarity, we only supply experts who are respected in their field and trusted in the courtroom.
