It is also important to look at the radiologist's report and to discuss it with the doctor. I've seen doctors misread bone scans, radiologists misread MRIs and CT scans. One time we had to tell the doctor to read the radiologist's report after which he changed his opinion and apologized. Another time we went for a second opinion and both the doctor and the radiologist at Kerlan-Jobe both of whom are considered among the world's best had a completely different reading of an MRI from that given by the radiologist at the imaging center and with the CT we got copies of the scans for ourselves and could see significant healing yet the radiologist who had evidently only taken a cursory glance said there was none. The doctor looked at it and was thrilled with amount of healing.
