The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate radiology viewing conditions
“It was accepted during the evidence that the x ray should ideally be viewed on a high-resolution screen rather than an standard screen. This increased the likelihood of significant abnormalities being detected. There are a number of such high-resolution screens for viewing of x rays. The evidence indicated that there was differing practice across the hospital as to when such screens were used and by whom.”
