CT Scans - can you ask to see them?

A quick question - do you have a right to ask to see your CT scans or do you just get told the results?  I don’t know, at the moment, if I want to ask to see mine, but I was wondering if the Onc would show me if I asked?  Does anyone know, please?

 

Thanks, Barton.x

My onc shows them when my daughter asks but doesn’t offer otherwise. Think she reckons I’m better off just being told the results after being such a wreck for so long!

Thanks for that, Nicky! Very useful to know. I think I will ask for copies at my next appointment - 22.1.15. Best wishes, Barton.x

Yes barton you can ask to see them. my Onc can look at mine on his computer on the desk. He explains what he sees and then sometimes turns the screen toward me so i can see what he’s referring to. Mind you it all just looks like moving blobs to me.
Usually though he just brings a printed report into the room with him as well and just summarises it.
