Hello guys,
My wife has been struggling on the health front from last 1 year and has gone through series of tests.
Today I took her for MRCP (MRI of Pancreas, Bile Ducts, Liver etc) and after the scan we were told to wait for the reports.
After 15 minutes of waiting we were handed over only the images and no “report”. By report I mean the summary and diagnosis. When we asked about the report we were told that our referring doctor will interpret himself by going through the images.
We asked the technician/radiologist if test was ok. He politely replied that they are not authorized to discuss that and we should see our doctor.
This is really new to us. For all the ultrasounds, CT scans , xrays etc in the past we were handed over the images along with a paper which will detail the findings.
This incident is making my anxiety worse. Can someone please tell me if this is a standard operating procedure for MRCP?
Is it because they found something serious and wants our doctor to discuss with us?
We have never been to this imaging centre before. Can this be their policy?
Please help as I am feeling dead worried. Earliest I can get hold of the doctor is after 10 days.
Looking forward for some help.
Thank you
