A member asked:
My dad had a vascular scan last week, when they finished they told him they would write with the results rather than telling him there and then. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Radiologist reads it: Generally the person doing the scan is a technician who is not officially qualified to evaluate the results (even though they might be quite knowledgeable). Once the scan is done it is evaluated by a radiologist and it is likely that a radiologist was not there or available at that time to assess the results.
