At The Wellness a doctor checks a scan is the right test first, a consultant radiologist reports it, and a doctor goes through the findings with you. Where MRI answers the question it is preferred, because it uses no ionising radiation.
About 3.9% of brain and body MRI scans in adults without symptoms show a potentially serious incidental finding, and about half of those are suspected cancers, which is why every finding needs a doctor and a plan. Gibson and colleagues, Potentially serious incidental findings on brain and body MRI of apparently asymptomatic adults, systematic review and meta-analysis, BMJ, 2018
MRI uses no ionising radiation. A CT of the chest gives about 8 mSv and a CT of the abdomen and pelvis about 10 mSv, against 2.1 mSv a year of natural background radiation in the UK. UK Health Security Agency, Patient dose information guidance, GOV.UK
Results that nobody acts on are a known failure in outpatient care. A systematic review of 19 studies found that between 6.8% and 62% of laboratory results were not followed up, and missed results were linked to delayed diagnoses. Callen and colleagues, Failure to follow-up test results for ambulatory patients, a systematic review, Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
