[Disclosure of X-ray results by the radiologist? Yes, say the patients. May be, say the physicians].
How radiologists should respond to patient's queries about x-ray results is discussed in this article outlining the views of Swedish patients, radiologists and clinicians. Most patient would like to be told the result at the x-ray department; but although radiologists are more inclined than clinicians to let the radiologist disclose the results, comparison of Swedish views on this issue with those outlined in an American report suggests both categories of Swedish physicians to be more reluctant than their American counterparts to allow the radiologist to disclose results.
