ER- special Doctors: ER doctors are trained to read the MRI/CT results themselves so that they can treat their patients immediately. They do not need to wait for a final Radiologist reading which can take several days. If your ER Dr told you that there was nothing on the scans, then you can feel secure that this evaluation was true.
