Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Who assesses the examination results? 

The radiologist assesses the images produced by the scanner at a special workstation and creates a report of the results.
The images will be explained to you in a subsequent discussion with the physician.
At the conclusion, you may generally take away the report and the images (also as a CD).  Your own physician (GP) will receive the examination report simultaneously by fax.

The MRI of the bowels is an exception:  Since the evaluation of the report is very time-consuming, the results cannot be communicated immediately.  A new appointment will have to be arranged for a personal discussion with the physician.
