Do doctors look at ultrasound pictures when reviewing patients reports, or just their files?

Reports only: Majority of docs would only review interpretation or reports of ultrasound reports. If needed, results are discussed with interpreting radiologist and compared with previous similar studies.

Ultrasounds: Nonradiologists are not trained or certified to officially interpret ultrasounds but may inspect the images as a learning experience. We rely on the official interpretations and conclusions provided by the radiologist.
