As a patient I don't think I've ever even talked to any radiologist that actually analyzed my imaging. Most of the times my family or I have had imaging done the imaging is handled by a tech who just knows how to operate the machines while the actual diagnostic work gets farmed out to remote radiologists who type up an analysis. I don't even think the other doctors I actually see ever directly talk to those radiologists.
Is this uncommon in the rest of the US?
