No, an inconclusive result does not mean there is no problem. It usually means the scan did not give a clear answer the first time.
A second opinion simply means another experienced radiologist looks at the same images again. Sometimes a fresh look can help clarify things and give you and your doctor more information to talk about.
Should I be worried if my original report mentions “inconclusive” findings?
