Specifically, this motion asks the court to preclude the defendant radiologist from commenting or relying on any radiology study when she testifies at trial. Defense experts and doctor defendants will often refuse to go out on a limb or qualify their answers in deposition testimony but they come back at trial and jump right out on that limb. Sure, you can bring this up on cross-examination but it is better just to keep the testimony out so as not to confuse the jury.
