Yes you are correct , however ,you must also realise that RADIOLOGIST do this as a specialty ...they see thousands of xray's , cat scan's and Mri's on a monthly basis ...Physcians as a rule never question a radilogist report and do not go back and second guess unless OTHER factor's are present (ie) patinet symptoms which would question a radilogist's origanla report or findings .
I PROMISE you that PHYSICAN'S DEPEND on radiologist's for their expertise ..and their final diagnosis is based on not their OWN interp of the scan/xray/ or other ,but that of the radiologist'
I do medical imaging for Doctor's ... ( Many know so little it would blow your socks off and leave you with very little faith in the med community ... so guess what WE ALL work together and this usually makes for a proper diagnosis .
"I KNOW THIS " and let me tell you this much ..DOCTOR'S do NOT have the training RADIOLOGIST'S DO ..point blank!
Well republican MD ..you already knew this ,didn't you
"Wink"
" Radiologists certainly do review CTs, but so to Neurogists"
In reference again to the statement you made pasted above.
Just because you have the letter's M.D behind your name qualify's you through medicare ,insurance , medicaid ec cetera to bill and interp radiology report's. You alsoo know that if you are not comfortable in your expertise in that area ,if you were to bill one of the above agency's for the interp of these studie's and you were WRONG ...well malpractice, would follow ...so ofcourse MOST Physicians don't bill for the interpt's of these studie's ,but rather let the radiologist do that ,since that is there expertise.
See the whole system is messed up .... The government is in the dark about medical billing and whom should be qualified for many different medical modalitie's. IF they knew HOW bogus all this was and really cared ...it would be stopped ..But it's just too messy and time consuming ,so it is ignored.
You know I speak the truth and if you say different ...well you know what that makes you.
