i have encountered radiology negative macro type reads w/ such obvious omissions that it's horrifying... ergo i over-read anything for which i am especially suspicious.
nb: mri's are not my forte unless they're for particular things, though my spine doc taught me a good bit about spines... it's best to read through the whole series not just look at one shot. the different weighted images and STIR and whatnot, and different cuts, can make or break whether something is visible. lord knows i have gone dizzy at times reading medical journals about the physics of mri's and why things look the way they do...
