Default How accurate are radiologists' interpretation of scans generally?

I had a bit of an odd situation with a neurologist I saw a while back now and it has stuck with me. When I got my TBI I just dealt with my GP, who ordered a CT scan and told me the results were fine. When the symptoms didn't improve I self-organised a follow up with a Neurologist.

When I showed the Neurologist the scan, he instantly said "Wait thats not right" out loud, kind of sounding shocked, then thought for a second, read the attached report and said "Oh, that must be air". Then said its fine and continued to examine me. He didn't seem concerned with the scans.

Its always sat pretty uneasily with me that maybe there was something misinterpreted, you'd think a Neurologist would be quite good at reading CT scans. Or at least not think out loud after glancing them to scare the patients.
