Imaging For Medical Legal Cases


EDI would be pleased to bill Section B benefits or the patients lawyer with
written confirmation in advance of the appointment

When determining the extent of injuries caused by motor vehicle or occupational accidents, the importance of having access to current radiographs and diagnostic reports cannot be stressed enough. If a clinical examination suggests that there is a possibility of injury to the craniofacial region or TM joints from the accident, it is important that radiographs be taken as soon as possible to provide an accurate record of any injuries the patient may have incurred.
  • Radiographs and diagnostic reports assist the practitioner in accurately diagnosing and preparing a treatment plan
  • Diagnostic information can assist the lawyer in concluding if there is injury from an accident
  • Current radiographs can determine whether the patient’s dental health may be a contributing factor to the pain they are currently experiencing
  • Previous radiographic findings, may indicate a history of TM dysfunction symptoms. With post-accident follow up films, comparative diagnosis will conclude if the patients’ condition has declined. This allows the practitioner to determine the impact of the accident on the joints.


Radiographic Duplication

Whether you require duplicates of your radiographs to forward to other practitioners or for medical legal purposes, E.D.I. can provide excellent quality duplicates or scans of your original films. Various formats to select from:
  • Duplicated from x-ray to x-ray
  • Scanned and saved as a digital image onto CD (for archival purposes, this is the format of choice -the digital image can then be readily shared with other professionals)
  • Scanned, printed to high quality direct vista paper and saved as a digital image to CD


Radiographic Interpretation

Oral and maxillofacial radiologist, Dr. Ernest Lam, D.M.D., Ph.D., Dip. A.B.O.M.R.(C), offers his service in reporting radiographs. The combination of excellent quality radiographs and diagnostic reporting presents dentists with a firm base on which to deliver diagnostic expertise to their patients. If dentists have a precise diagnosis, they are better able to provide their patients with additional information, which will assist in making an accurate prognosis. The radiology report is also an important document if previous or current treatment is under review by a third party.

An interpretation of radiographs that have been taken at another location can also be provided.
