Ensuring that injured or ill individuals are properly diagnosed and treated is essential to achieving an optimal return to function and/or work. Obtaining objective interpretation of radiology films is a low cost solution to assist with these objectives.
Radiology reviews provide an independent opinion of diagnostic imaging studies such as MRIs, X-rays, and CAT scans to ensure that the interpretation of the study is accurate. Radiology reviews can assist in determining causality of an injury, confirm diagnosis, and ensure the most appropriate treatment plan. They are often used as a lower cost alternative to an Independent Medical Examination (IME) and may result in the avoidance of repeat diagnostic studies. When conclusive, they can confirm or clarify a diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans to reduce indemnity, medical, and administrative costs. Unlike an IME, the injured/ill person does not have to be present.
