An ultrasound medico legal report is a formal expert opinion prepared by a consultant radiologist or specialist sonographer, based on a detailed review of ultrasound imaging. These reports are used in personal injury litigation, insurance assessments, and clinical negligence claims where soft tissue, vascular, or organ injuries need to be evidenced and explained.
