Who interprets?: I suspect the issue is who will interpret the results. Your primary may not want to be responsible. The neurosurgeon or oncologist should be the one to order and to interpret. Issue may be authorization and insurance. Hard to guess what road blocks they will put up. Hard to help you there.
