I got the xray at the sports med clinic, minutes before seeing the PA at said clinic. If there was a radiologist in the mix, it was behind the scenes and very much on-demand.So, radiology services all have radiologists that look at all studies. The only way it wasn't is if your orthopedic center has their own equipment that is run by them which is almost assuredly not the case. I'm sure your radiologist bill is forthcoming
Also, your PA should still have oversight by the attending orthopedic physician, but how much I couldn't say.
All that said, you aren't hurting anyone's feelings by calling and asking. I'd say that's better than a wife who has doubts.
What I didn't put in my post is that I got the MRI anyway since insurance would pay for it. I got my hips/butt scanned as well.
That was a long 2 hours in the tube!
Your answer tells me though that it's likely a radiologist will look at the MRI and interpret the results (since the MRI was done at an offsite imaging center). And not just my PA.
Regardless, I'll ask when I chat with him today. Thanks.
