Radiologists are NOT created equal. I personally never wait for report & always take cd home day of scan. Some radiologists are great, cover every thing they observe on scans, others not so. Which is why I look for myself & compare with last years.

I just had one done last week. Had to go to diff location though same tech scanned me BUT (this really stinks) slices weren't taken at exact same levels (started slices a tad closer to top of head) which means I can't compare it to last yrs since lesions won't be in same place/slice. Head tilt is VERY important too. Techs say they can straighten it in program but BS. Sure they can make your head look straight, but if sliced at diff angle, it's sliced at diff angle.
