Conflicting studies: Not unique that sometimes imaging provides either false positives or negatives, and sometimes human interpretations can likewise be misleading. Usually this can be readily resolved by the involved physicians having a phone or ZOOM conference to resolve the validity of the clinical findings.

Need to examine: All imaging results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you may wish to talk to the radiologist along with your doctor. Wish you good health!
