I remember when I first saw my neurologist in 2002 he requested to see the films from the MRI I had done at another facility a few months previously because he did not have the MRI report copy to compare. This MRI was done with no contrast only so my neurologist had to begin a new history of my MRIs.

I think it's a matter of where you are in the dx process and if you feel confident with your doctor. Personally, I would not feel comfortable if my MS specialist did not review the films but in the case of my neuro-op and orbital MRIs, I know she was relying on the comparison and I do feel okay about that...
