Academic radiologists are many times faced with scans done in private centers for second opinions.

Then there are complex cases in which a consultant may want to take second opinion from an experienced radiologist with whom he has a rapport.


The report and findings are recorded accurately in the case records. The opinion is incorrect as per expert medical opinion.”
