Why are the radiologists who complete reports on MRIs unreachable to the patient? Had an MRI this weekend. The order included comparing this MRI to the one from 9 years ago (I took it to the facility and they supposedly uploaded everything). The radiologist who completed the report not only did not look at the previous scan for reference (says on the report there was nothing for comparison), their units of measurement for cysts that were found were “tiny” and “small” instead of actual verifiable, scientific numerical measurements. I called the facility and was told the ordering doctor is the one who will have to call about the issue with the report. I called the ordering doctor’s office and was told 1)they didn’t have the report yet, 2)their office was not in the business of telling radiologists how to do their job. The US healthcare system is a complete joke.
