In general, when I see something that looks suspicious, and the rad tells me 
it is X, (but my report cannot diagnose "X"), I just describe what I have 
seen, and then in impressions state that what was observed is "consistent 
with sx seen in X."  I also refer the reader to the separate radiologist's 
report.
