As a radiologist, his role is to interpret scans and report findings accurately. Imaging isn’t just one-size-fits-all, so he pays attention to the details that matter for each request. Then the report is used by your treating doctor to guide care. If more views or extra checks are needed, the process is usually explained through your referring team.
