Yes: The radiologist looks for any abnormal anatomical variation whether it be atrophy, malformation, infarction, hemorrhage, tumor or mass effect. Thanks.

They should: Radiologists are trained to look for everything on the scan. Certainly if there is asymmetric atrophy he/she should be able to see it.
