Well, there are many legal issues with different aspects of non invasive cardilogy, but one in particular is a violation of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Acountability Act). This happens when an unauthorized person recieves information about a patient and privacy is compromised. Another may be if a patient has a known allergy to the contrast used in a nuclear study, or a CT study, but the allergy is overlooked and the contrast is administered anyhow. Hope this helps. Good luck and all the best.
