No, the final interpretation is always provided by the radiologist. The RPA provides an internal technical report or a preliminary report to the radiologist, similar to the type provided by sonographers. The final interpretation is the role of the radiologist. Some radiologists may allow the RPA to dictate the technical report, but the report and the images are reviewed by the radiologist before signing the official interpretation.
