@bsi15 Hello, the radiologist reports your CT results to the ordering physician, who interprets the results based on your condition and other symptoms, then reaches a diagnosis and formulates a treatment plan. If the ordering physician is not a pulmonologist, they will often refer you to one for the diagnosis and treatment.

Has the ordering physician discussed next steps with youy? If not, perhaps a call to their office is in order at this point.

Once bronchietasis is confirmed on xray by a radiologist, the next step is to see a pulmonologist who should interpret findings.
Good luck!
