Most likely not: Depends on the radiologist and local culture but in general the ordering physician is the one who should get in touch with you about the results, radiologist will rather call the ordering physician if he/she sees something abnormal.

Usually not.: In most practice situations the radiologist writes a report to send to the referring physician who then conveys information to the patient. Sometimes other arrangements are made and in emergency situations the radiologist will contact the referring physician by phone. If you do not have the results, by all means contact your physician.

Your M.D. should: Usually radiologists do not contact patients directly, but if they see something highly abnormal will often call your physician directly.
