I had a question, I was at the CT scan of the pelvis yesterday to see if there was a fistula system present.

Now my question is, should the radiologist have spoken to me if he had seen something suspicious?

I had to go there because I already had two abscesses on my buttocks.

He only asked if I still had any problems.

Bladder will be clarified by a urologist through ultrasound and urine test, as well as prostate examination and PSA test in mid-March.

Good day,

Often radiologists leave the talking to the referring physicians, as they are not obligated to explain their findings. However, most of them do say if they have found something unusual. If they do not, they will send their report to the referring physician on the same day. Therefore, they can tell you the results on Monday at the latest.

All the best!

Sincerely, Dr. Höllering
