i have found that good pain docs and surgeons ALWAYS look at their own images... and usually comment on much more than radiologists.
there are countless stories of missed calls by radiologists... head bleeds, collapsed lungs, fractures, you name it.
radiologists also have their own normal "macro"... if what you're needing to have looked at isn't in their macro, it may or may not be normal.
