FDA Investigates Radiation overdoses in CT Scans

Posted on Wednesday, December 16th, 2009 at 10:59 am    

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently investigating multiple hospitals that administered an excess amount of  radiation through CT scans. If you or someone you love has been a victim of medical malpractice, the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson-Axelrod may be able to help you fight for the compensation you deserve.

In California, the FDA is investigating over 270 medical cases in which the patients were exposed to an excess amount of radiation during their CT brain scans. The excess in radiation caused symptoms such as hair loss and skin redness. Exposure to excess radiation can cause diseases such as cancer, tumors, and genetic damage.

The FDA is investigating the cause of these accidents with manufacturers, state and local authorities, and other professional organizations.

If you or someone you love has been the victim of medical malpractice, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice lawyers of Levinson-Axelrod by calling 800-346-5529.
